Some packages in Fedora _are_ compiled with PGO. Off the top of my head, both Firefox and Python 3 are, but only for the x86 architectures. It takes too long for other architectures. I don't know if there's significant demonstrative benefit across the board for PGO, given the additional time it adds to package builds... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/MRKQNDIRSWUU6CY6ZC3WQYMSCORSM4GE/
