Oh, I was talking about something I noticed rpm doing during its gyrations--it runs some /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip command, which I assumed was trying to strip binaries, but it turns out it's purpose is to strip developers of their will to live. ("Which is strange, because that functionality is handled by so many other aspects of rpm...") --Rusty |
