From 739eda1990f94955a5289cafaa7fedfe830e2b9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2020 17:22:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] package/lz4: don't install programs by default Commit 2acb27e298c54935f890111fc5897a11350b913b ("package/lz4: make program installation optional") make the installation of the lz4 programs optional. To preserve backward compatibility, this commit added a "default y" to the BR2_PACKAGE_LZ4_PROGS. While Buildroot definitely tries to preserve backward compatibility in general, in this case, the backward compatibility would mean that everbody would by default install those 220 KB of program, which are most likely not needed for the majority of use cases. Installaing them by default kind of breaks the Buildroot principle of minimalism. In this specific case, it is believed that the principle of minimalism wins over the principle of backward compatibility.
