Interesting point. Before I could deploy RPMs with largefile support by
default, I would have to make sure it wouldn't silently break anything. So
keep discussing the issues involved, and I'll see what comes of it. I don't
have an direct experience with the largefile support, and am learning as I go
with this.
Given that I have to make the source RPM's buildable on distributions that
might not have the largefile support available, so on those distributions the
support will have to be unavailable -- and the decision to build it or not to
build it must be automatable.
