Libzypp supports --nodeps as a fallback solution for installing RPMs. First, it, of course, tries to install an RPM in a normal way, then libzypp tries that with --nodeps automatically.
Thats not a reason. we rely on package dependencies already for other licensing issues, and this would be no different.
Which other issues would that be?
otherwise you could also say that if a user installs all his pacakges with all files but the COPYING file would also be a licensing violation.
A distributor must ship the COPYING file, a user may ignore it. If our default installers fail to install it, then we may have a GPL violation. If a user explicitly disables its installation, he is fine. cheers, JW. -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de wide open suse_/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 (tm)__/ (____/ /\ (/) | __________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "This bug is visible to non-employees.
