libxml/GNOME dependency MADNESS cleanup: nfsref(8) removal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings!

I am going to post a patch series to remove the nfsref(8) utility.

So far the "utility" has only created more harm (namely, dragging in
GNOME(!!!!!) libxml and cohorts dependencies, and related dependency
breakage, which in itself is INTOLERABLE; and breaking NFS root
support); and only obscure "benefits" (NFS referrals, which no one
uses).

Following that will be a patch series for Kconfig to make NFS referral
support optional, and then mark them as depreciated.
