[Bug 742935] New: devel:gcc/libgcj45: Bug - Subpackage needed to prevent GUI deps on non-GUI installs
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742935 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742935#c0 Summary: devel:gcc/libgcj45: Bug - Subpackage needed to prevent GUI deps on non-GUI installs Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software AssignedTo: rguenther@suse.com ReportedBy: drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com QAContact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Devs, The gcc-gcj package should be split into sub-packages to avoid dependency problems that require the installation of GUI components (gtk/x11) on systems where no desktop is installed and none is wanted. This affects 11.4 (presumable 12.1 also) Currently gcj includes, among others, /usr/lib64/gcj-4.5-11/libjawt.so that requires various gtk components to be installed, even on minimal systems where no desktop is installed or wanted. These gcj components that required GUI support should be moved to a subpackage to eliminate GUI components installed as dependencies where they are not needed or wanted. A prime example of the problem can be seen when attempting to install 'pdftk' on minimal system installs. pdftk relies on gcj, but pdftk is a command line utility. Attempting to install pdftk on a minimal system results in the following: # zypper in pdftk Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies...

It's as if you'd package e.g. QT together with libstdc++ ... A simple "hello_world.cpp" would pull in QT ... -- 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 can split libjawt and libgtkpeer to a different sub-package, but as they are loaded dynamically at runtime no rpm dependencies will be ever autogenerated, so all packages requiring them will have to explicitly add a requirement. I doubt that is what we want (silently breaking apps using AWT). What's the state of Java in openSUSE?

I would say yes - however this has to be checked first. Would you be so kind and prepare stripped down libcj package without awt and gtkpeer and I will try to build Java stack using it? -- 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.
