From the perspective of the Debian package, there is no point worrying about a little bit of space inside packages. From the perspective of packages handled by emgrip, it is not going to be simple to use hardlinks and although each file is 102 bytes, it is not as if every debhelper 9 package is going to have these files. Making the files zero byte isn't going to help as those are prime candidates for removal by many cleanup processes. I don't think there is a lot of benefit in adding this to emgrip currently. Cron only has 5 .placeholder files and on my Debian unstable development box I could only find one other, in php5-common. Even if debhelper 9 placeholder support grows enormously, if it saved more than about 4Kb on a complete system I would be surprised. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
