Thanks, Daniele.
Yeah I can't see why it thinks patterns-fonts-fonts should pull it in unless you have a really old version. At some point in the next week or so i'm going to do another iteration of patterns-base changes, I think its reasonable that patterns-base-x11 just requires xorg-x11-essentials and not all of xorg-x11 so i'll fix that then. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

I often do that for small changes/fixes (even without doing any bugzilla paperwork before), but only if I know what I'm doing ;-) As you can see in the discussion in the bugreport, things aren't that clear for this "little change", which is also the reason why I chose bugzilla instead of a SR.

For years it worked. If it doesn't then it's a bug. If some other package *requires* a command line tool like xrandr or xdpyinfo, then obviously it should be required by that package. xorg-x11 is a "compatibility metapackage" that *recommends* some other packages, which just happens to be by default installed by zypper dup.

All that use an X11 desktop And also because of some of these tools :) Not the ones you mention here, but I use xev on a regular basis I saw xfontsel on the list, but noted I replaced that with my own perl/Tk version in 2004, as the xfontsel from x11 isn't that useful xfs is useful if your co-workers are using Reflection or other X11 clients on Windows that do not have the fonts you have on your Linux box(es). That makes xfd, xfsinfo and xlsfonts useful too. xinput is kinda vital for mapping multiple buttons to the same functionality, like in xinput set-button-map device 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 2 10 11 12 13 14 15 for when you have multiple mice attached with all different button-sets and you want middle-past to be DWIM I always compile xterm from git

Out of genuine curiosity, do you have a list somewhere the shows "modern" or "better" alternatives to to each of these (outdated) X11 tools per DE?

Daniele.
Kmag and the Xkill alternative are installed by default with Plasma. Same for monitoring (Xload) and probably for Xcalc (not sure if Kcalc is installed by default..) Xedit.. plenty of editor Then we have few low level utilities like Xev, needed only in special case. Icewm is installed by default so why twm ? Almost all in my list is not needed, barely used and with some alternatives already installed. There is no reason to install them as recommended, really.

Guess someone's holding on to the fvwm2+eyes classic desktop.
Xeyes is only an example. xload, xman, xmag, xedit... Who want to install xorg-x11 ? Why ?
All that use an X11 desktop
And also because of some of these tools :)
Not the ones you mention here, but I use xev on a regular basis
I saw xfontsel on the list, but noted I replaced that with my own perl/Tk version in 2004, as the xfontsel from x11 isn't that useful
xfs is useful if your co-workers are using Reflection or other X11 clients on Windows that do not have the fonts you have on your Linux box(es). That makes xfd, xfsinfo and xlsfonts useful too.
xfontsel, xfs and the like are are only useful iff you are still using X11 core fonts. When you are using programs based on GTK (>= 2.0, 1.4?), Qt (>=2), Tk, wxWidgets (-> GTK2/GTK3) you are *not* using core fonts. xev is a debugging tool which should not be installed by default (neither as required nor recommended).
xinput is kinda vital for mapping multiple buttons to the same functionality, like in
xinput has either to be set up manually, where manually installing it once should not be too hard, or pulled in as a dependency when a script actually uses it. No need for a global Requires/Recommends.

Any specific package or pattern for this case I don't know, but I know I avoid a lot of this kind of thing via zypp.conf's solver.onlyRequires = true option. zypper.conf has a related option: installRecommends = no.
Yes yes, I know but the problem is that nothing should recommeds stuff like xeyes or at the least, nothing should recommends something that recommends xeyes :)

as stated later xorg-x11 is a metapackage and Tumbleweed work great here without it installed since +3 years at least -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe supporter GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Please, stop adding craps like xeyes ...
Some call it crap, some think it is great for finding the mouse pointer. For my part, I like xeyes and I miss that it is not an applet in KDE anymore. Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
