'Recommends' fits only in case a minimal system will not select them by default. In this case 'Suggests' sound better because we actually don't need (and typically don't want) to have these packages installed by default.
Yes, if these packages are neither needed nor wanted by default, 'suggests' is the right dependency.
I'm afraid there is one more problem with moving extra-packages to something else.
I wanted to write a simple script that would get a package name and grep the extra-packages file for its existence. After that all matching lines should have been transformed to "Suggests: $package".
But finally I've found that some currently NOARCH packages use several "#if defined(__$arch__)" in that extra-packages file. So moving the content to "Suggests: $package" would mean transforming some NOARCH packages to architecture-dependent just because of suggested packages :(
Are those requirements still current and correct? Could you give us the list, please?
These packages are currently: * yast2-installation (noarch) * yast2-bootloader * yast2-samba-client (noarch) * yast2-fingerprint-reader * yast2-kerberos-client (noarch) * yast2-kdump
/Those NOARCH are marked (noarch)/
What do you think of changing them from NOARCH? Isn't there any better solution?
