NAICT, most openSUSE packagers seem to think their preferences for optional packages would better be required, thus somehow we mostly get full bloat installations even without strict dependencies in place - unless we use zypp.conf and set

Bless you. Especially if I can get to that during a clean install so that "texlive" doesn't end up taking 2/3 of the time.
Last night I did a minimal TW install that verified Carlos is indeed correct, as far as he went.
I have yet to find any evidence that deselecting install recommended packages during installation survives the installation process. The newly installed /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and zypper.conf files are exactly the same as those contained in the rpms they come from. So for the deselection to remain as local policy, solver.onlyRequires = true is apparently still needed.
Interesting. Thanks for that follow up. Michael -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
