mobile-broadband-provider-info:  Used by NetworkManager-KDE4. Database of mobile broadband service providers.  Needed for Mobile Connection Wizard support in Broadband Modem Management.  This is currently available from packman.

Already in factory

Do we need a Requires for plasmoid-networkmanagement?

Urgs! Please do NOT. Making it a "Requires" would mean the normal Desktops get it too.

And what makes you think that desktops should not get it? I believe users should get every possible way to be online from every machine they own.

Ok. Let's be very clear: Not everybody has a desktop with a 2TB+ Storage. Some of us want to run a small box like a "Asus EEE Box" or similar and thus are limited in terms of Storage, RAM and CPU power, nonetheless we'd like to run a fresh-of-the-press DE like KDE SC 4.7 atm. So in terms of this, the package "mobile-broadband-provider-info" should only needed by any package that has a direct need for it, like the one that provides "mobile-broadband-modem". No WiFi, BlueZ, Ethernet, ATM, DSL package can win anything beyond wasted space from the package "mobile-broadband-provider-info". If you install a mobil broadband modem (GSM/UMTS), then to Require the package mobile-broadband-provider-info makes sense. Anything else is wasted resources. I can't find a rule anywhere in OpenSUSE.org that wasteing resources is wanted or needed. This is not Microsoft or Apple, this is Linux-OS by OpenSUSE. Have a nice weekend, Yamaban.
