All, How is the decision made to have a recommends statement made? == my situation I packaged fio for 12.3. Fio is a performance testing tool for disk subsystems. One of its features is it can produce plots viewable via gnuplot so there is a recommends gnuplot in the specfile. I've just had a user raise the concern that on a server gnuplot brings in a ton of desktop related packages. Further he argues he would run fio on the server, but gnuplot on his desktop. I can see both sides of this, but I am inclined to remove the recommends statement. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
