[Bug 254705] New: git package has weird dependencies (gnu arch, cvsps...)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254705 Summary: git package has weird dependencies (gnu arch, cvsps...) Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pbaudis@novell.com ReportedBy: anicka@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Package git depends on gnu arch, cvs and gitk. Assuming that a git user usually does not want to have tla installed, I think this is a bug. This is how dependencies look like: tla is needed by git-arch-1.4.3.4-20.x86_64 git-arch is needed by git-1.4.3.4-20.x86_64 git-cvs is needed by git-1.4.3.4-20.x86_64 cvsps is needed by git-cvs-1.4.3.4-20.x86_64 gitk is needed by git-1.4.3.4-20.x86_64 I took a quick look into the git spec: Requires: git-core, git-svn, git-cvs, git-arch, git-email, gitk I think that requiring everything except git-core on this line does not make sense. When someone installs git, he probably expects to have a working git (it means the content of git-core) and not all the importing tools in the world with loads of dependencies. BTW, git package itself contains only README. So in fact we have a README file depending on tla and so on, which IMHO does not make sense at all ;) -- 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.

If you need bare git without interfaces to other VCSes etc, you can install just git-core. -- 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.
