Description Sam James archtester

2025-05-10 01:23:32 UTC

app-editors/zed requires a large amount of time, CPU, and RAM to build - in part because it unconditionally builds using LTO.

I don't think this is a reasonable thing for a package to force and by policy, we undo that in other packages. What we sometimes do is include a warning if LTO is not enabled if upstream recommend that it is.

But right now, it consumes a lot of arch testing resources for stabilisation and doesn't seem particularly worth it.
