THEN PUT THE COMPILER ON THE COMPUTER IN QUESTION! Sheesh.
Hmm? What are you ranting about?
"Hi, I just shot myself in the foot, and it really hurts. I don't think
it should be that way" uh..then watch where you store your bullets.
I see. You didn't read all the posts.
Having a mechanism to support your production machines with updates and
upgrades has to be part of your system.
If you opt to make the system more difficult to update by leaving
off the compiler, you have to do something else to do the builds
If you are worried about urgent, you have a system that can build
rapidly, not in days...
Very eloquent arguments have been made for why leaving compilers off
systems INCREASES security risks due to making the system hard to update.
Haven't made any such "very eloquent arguments". Could you check who
you're responding to before posting? Thanks.
