I find that I am running a couple of services that I don't feel I should since I am not Evolution for e-mail nor anything else:

Alas, half of Gnome seems to depend on it:

37 packages to remove. After the operation, 36,9 MiB will be freed.
Most of those things do not depend on evolution-data-server directly, but something else that is going to be removed.
in fact, the critical part in there is gnome-shell, which relies on e-d-s services for the calendaring applet in the top bar.
And once gnome-shell is marked for removal by zypper, there is not much gnome left (gnome-tweak-tool depends on gnome-shell; gnome-imaging pattern depends on the regular gnome pattern, which of course, requires gnome-shell).
I don't think we'd be doing ourselves a big favor to try to work around a non-existing service; I've seen way too many crashes for e-d-s services not being reachable. that the tradeoff to have them there is just not expensive enough to even work on incoming bugs.
For the record, we moved this dependency in a subpackage (gnome-shell-calendar) on SLE12 (since we didn't want to have e-d-s on SLES12) but I'd tend to agree with Dominique, it might not be a good idea to not enforce it on openSUSE (even more with the new notification UI in 3.16, I don't know how it would interact with no e-d-s running, but maybe I'm just paranoid :) -- Frederic Crozat Project Manager Enterprise Desktop SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
