[opensuse-gnome] Does gnome-maps really, really need evolution-data-server?
Trying to lighten my desktop a little, I checked what happens when I remove evolution-data-server. Most of this is logical empathy evolution-data-server gnome-contacts gnome-maps gnome-shell-calendar gnome-shell-search-provider-contacts libebackend-1_2-10 libebook-1_2-19 libebook-contacts-1_2-2 libecal-1_2-19 libedata-book-1_2-25 libedata-cal-1_2-28 libedataserver-1_2-22 libedataserverui-1_2-1 libfolks-eds25 libfolks-telepathy25 libfolks25 typelib-1_0-GFBGraph-0_2 but gnome-maps? Isn't that a bit much to depend on evolution-data-server? Could that be a "soft" dependency instead of a hard requirements? Gerald PS: I just realized that I tried this 30 months ago where we had a good exchange here. Since then the list of dependencies has got a _lot_ smaller :-), and really gnome-maps is the one I'm wondering about now... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

gnome-maps links into the evolution address book - you can enter Contact Names into the Search field in GNOME Maps; for this it needs the integration with evolution-data-server. The dependency though is not in gnome-maps itself, but is abstracted over folks. But the current design of gnome-maps's does not allow to split out such consumer into optional packages, as it is all linked into a monolithic gnome-maps library. Cheers, Dominique

But uninstalling / locking libfolks-eds25 should prevent evolution- data-server to be installed, while keeping gnome-maps. -- Frederic Crozat Enterprise Desktop Release Manager SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

rpm -qR libfolks25 | grep eb libebook-contacts-1.2.so.2()(64bit) The main libfolks library is linked to libebook-contacts, which in turn requires libedataserver-1.2.so.22 (libedataserver-1_2-22). That in turn links into the 'private' library libedbus-private.so which is provided by the evolution-data-server package. Cheers Dominique
