Hi all.
As the patents for the Bytecode interpreter has been expired [1], I wonder if we could build freetype '--with bytecode_interpreter' set.

Only if they build it that way in RHEL.
Wouldn't this be a candidate for the centosplus repo?
You build other packages with options different to upstream in centosplus (e.g, postfix with mysql support enabled)?
We could do that if there is a need.
Putting this in the upstream bugzilla might get it turned on for the main distro.
Ok, I am going to check if RHEL ships with Bytecode Interpreter already active. If not, I am going to create an upstream BZ.
Until then it's a perfect candidate for centosplus.
So centosplus may contain packages that are already in base? How is made sure that these are taken? By higher Release Tags or just by includes/excludes?
We will add the .centos.plus "dist" tag, which will make it a higher than the other one for the same Name-Version-Release-Dist in the main repo.
