https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440797 Summary: gnome-power-manager has excessive dependencies Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gp@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Product Management I like to try installing using KDE applications on a GNOME or minimal desktop and GNOME applications on a KDE or minimal desktop in some cases and noticed the following: rana:/home/gp # zypper in gnome-power-manager Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW packages are going to be installed: bundle-lang-gnome-cs eel evolution-data-server gle gnome-audio gnome-control-center gnome-desktop gnome-main-menu gnome-menus gnome-menus-branding-openSUSE gnome-panel gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-settings-daemon gnome-themes gnome2-user-docs libbeagle1 libcanberra-gtk0 libcanberra0 libeel-2-2 libexempi3 libgnome-desktop-2-7 libgnome-menu2 libgnomekbd libgtop libgtop-2_0-7 libgweather libgweather1 metacity nautilus sound-theme-freedesktop tango-icon-theme xscreensaver yast2-control-center-gnome Many of these I can understand, but bundle-lang-gnome-cs, evolution-data-server, and a couple of others like libgweather1 really look excessive. Or xscreensaver when we alrady have gnome-screensaver. This also hurts when one wants to create a small footprint desktop. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We could split those out, but its probably too late.

If we care a lot about this, the thin client people recommended two other things - 1) break up gnome-applets so the applet with the python dep could be removed (server people might like this too) 2) try and kill the hard nautilus requires for gnome.

That would be nice, thanks! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maw, what needs updating in the patterns?

Stefan: do you know if the patterns were updated? If no, we have to figure out what's missing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
