--- Comment #5 from Stefan Dirsch
Xserver IS xorg-x11 You're wrong. There is no Xserver in this package. Even no virtual one like Xnest, Xephyr, Xvfb, Xvnc.
and the deps I was speaking of are the long list of "rpm -qR xorg-x11". Sorry if I didn't say that clear enough.
Well, I find the standard X11 applications *very* useful. Others do as well.
how does a "Requires: xorg-x11-xauth" for xorx-x11-libs introduce a loop while this is an installation dependency not a build dependency?
I tried to explain this to you in a seperate email.
All major distributions have xauth in separate packages to not force the users to install xorg-x11 plus `rpm -qR xorg-x11`.
Some just use one package for each X.Org application (which are in git app directory). We don't.
And there are also setups in the real world where the installation (even if disabled) of an X server is a no-go for securitry or policy reasons.
See above.
Less space is not the only reason.
Currently I don't see another reason. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
