The only thing we could change is to install the packages when they are really needed, e.g. if you only want to create an installation image you don't need the kiwi part of the product creator and you don't need kiwi packages. And vice versa.

But that's what we are doing - see initial report. I also think not requiring kiwi packages is better, since yast2-product-creator doesn't have to be used as "Image Creator". -- 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.

I'm also confused by yast2-product-creator not being used as "Image Creator". So you are saying that the yast2-product-creator RPM contains not only the Image Creator, but also something else?

Yes, exactly. See e.g. http://news.opensuse.org/?p=478 - creating images with kiwi is only one task, the other is to create modified installation medias (see the YaST2 Product Creator part of the article) -- 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.

Why don't you separate the packaging then? One package containing the Kiwi-specific parts of yast2-product-creator and having the dependency on Kiwi and another package for the generic parts. Depending on what dependencies Product Creator has, you might even want to consider creating a package having these dependencies. This would give a clean dependency tree and make it possible to install only what's needed without bothering the user at start of the module.

I don't think this is a good idea. The parts have much in common.

I also still don't understand why the product creator has to be part of the default system. Why is this the case?

I don't think this is the case. Valid case is described in comment 4. -- 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.
