https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223511 ------- Comment #2 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-11-23 15:22 MST ------- Applications that link to libbeagle are working just fine without beagle installed/running. Yelp, for example, has just the searchbox greyed out. I don't know if it's a political decision to require beagle. It is certainly recommended, that's why it is in the patterns, but it is in the patterns as recommended and not as required. I don't see how e.g. yelp should be fixed, it is a single executable with no visible traces of plugin support whatsoever. Either the executable is linked to libbeagle or it is not. It's probably more a technical restriction than a political decision to enforce beagle usage. Actually I think that the libbeagle -> beagle dependency is the problem because it has been added in the assumption that applications which link to libbeagle require beagle. This is true for some of libbeagle's consumers, but not all. I consider this a serious regression because this always worked in the past. I can easily build an empty package to satisfy the dependency locally, but you will get feedback from other users because as useful as beagle is, many users simply don't want to know anything about it and it's the 2nd most popular removal candidate after zmd among the openSUSE audience. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
