https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205096 Bug ID: 1205096 Summary: Reduce build-time dependencies for nextcloud-desktop by switching inkscape for rsvg-convert Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: badshah400@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 862670 --> https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=862670&action=edit Diff showing reduction in the number of build deps when switching from inkscape to rsvg-convert for build Either of these programs (used to generate png's out of svg's and nothing more) may be used for the build, at least since commit <https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/commit/727de34879b8ef800945e11951cc1a7bee811f03>. However, using inkscape (a GTK based GUI app) at build time pulls in GTK and friends, among other cruft that may be significantly lessened by using rsvg-convert instead. From my analysis, attached is the diff that shows the decrease in number of build deps when switching from inkscape to rsvg-convert. Debian has also switched to using rsvg-convert instead of inkscape for the same reason (since version 3.5.4):
nextcloud-desktop (3.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release. * Update patch hunks. * Use librsvg2-bin instead of inkscape as build dependency as it is much smaller. * Update lintian-overrides.
I made an sr to implement this change, but maintainer declined it for unexplained reasons. So this bug is an attempt to find a way forward: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1032731 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
