I've just had a user raise the concern that on a server gnuplot brings in a ton of desktop related packages. Further he argues he would run fio on the server, but gnuplot on his desktop. ... Why not create a sub package that has a requires on gnuplot, basically just metadata to pull in if the user wants to add it?
something like fio-gnuplot? That way people searching for fio find it?
If that's appropriate, I'll do it.
I don't think it's such a stretch that any user trying to parse (gnuplot-compatible) output from fio would look for gnuplot, not fio. With that in mind, subpackage doesn't seem to make sense. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
