Summary: banshee shouldn't install precompiled Boo DLLs
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: GNOME
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de
         QAContact: qa@suse.de
Banshee installs the following precompiled DLLs (without sources in the source
tarball):
/src/Boo/Boo.Lang.Interpreter.dll
/src/Boo/Boo.Lang.Compiler.dll
/src/Boo/Boo.Lang.dll
/src/Boo/Boo.Lang.Parser.dll
There are two problems with this: It's potential code duplication (if the user
installs other Boo-dependenent packages like monodevelop) and, in general,
everything in the distribution should, if possible, be built from source so
that rebuilding all source packages results in a completely rebuilt
distributions.
Looking at the code, it seems that the necessary infrastructure is already in
place: Banshee can easily make use of a system-wide Boo installation, if
present. Why isn't this used in the SUSE package?
