What we have to work out is when someone will actually be using KDE. If someone is just installing krusader, then no, but how do you tell if someone is just installing krusader (which caused the requirement for kdebase) or if someone just installed kdebase because they want to run KDE. (as far as I know, you can't unless you are parsing the rpm command-line) That's why when building from source without subpackages, kdebase-workspace was just part of kdebase. If you got kdebase, you got kde-workspace as well.
I don't mind subpackages, but when you start running into circular dependency problems, we either need to create a 'KDE3 Install Group' for yast that people can use to install KDE3 and get all the required dependencies, or we just need to make kdebase3-workspace a dependency for kdebase3 (otherwise, we are just going to run into this "Why isn't kde3 working problem, over and over again.)
Isn't this what the YaST 'patterns-OPENSUSE-*' entries under the Patterns view in Software Manager are for? Leslie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
