This is a feature. Not a bug.
If your storage is too small, the correct solution is to buy a big one.
Bear in mind that the targeted usage scenario is cloud and data center, not daily desktop usage.
sg3_utils-dev is under the Included packages section, not Included bundles, so it’s not already a bundle. Packages aren’t exposed directly, and that’s by design. Here’s some of the reasoning behind bundles.
You can request sg_utils to be added to its own bundle; just follow the Issues link at the top of that page.
Thank you. Did not know about that search-file functionality. I’ll use enhancement request.
It still seems crazy to me to go to these lengths. Don’t see why they simple didn’t allow packages to be installed, and why this arbitary bundle distinction. Yes the 47MB is more reasonable than 12GB, but still its a 400kb tool and who knows what else is in os-testsuite-0day
The thing to consider is that for everyone of me that take the time to complain probably a 100 more will go ‘meh’ and not consider CL again based on the crazyness of the package manager. No one might argue “who needs users” but in opensource if you fail to capture mindshare, your project doesn’t survive.
I get the idealism, its cool and all, but also why is this the chosen hill to die on?
“You know guys CL might be a failure in terms of adoption, but at least it had a elegant simple package manager!” (*definitions of ‘simple’ and ‘elegant’ subject to change)
