Huh? There are NUMEROUS multi-link files under $PREFIX, installed by differ= ent packages, including git, llvm, and portupgrade. Moreover, man-pages have be= en installed as hard-links for DECADES, including man-pages of the ports. Try: find /usr/local -type f -not -links 1 libexec/git-core/git, in particular, has 138 hardlinks here! > further thinking: do we even guarantee a file system with hard link suppo= rt? I suppose, if one were to host $PREFIX on FAT floppy, things might break, y= eah. But then, he wouldn't be able to install git either -- and thus, have no /usr/ports to begin with :-) > Think NFS - that's a whole can of worms on it's own NFS certainly supports hardlinks and has since its earliest versions. > we're talking about a few hundred kB in a 200MB install size port The actual gain is not relevant. But this is the attitude, which explains w= hy, despite enormous progress of the hardware, the "computing experience" is lacking, and gigabytes are becoming necessary, where megabytes were suffici= ent earlier. > I'm not going to spent any more time than this note on that. Thank you, that's a comforting promise, actually. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
