It's detailed enough I have no problem finding strigi, apparmor, splashy, kdepim4, gtk2-immodule*, bluez, ktorrent, and other nuisances and bloatware and setting taboo on them before proceeding to the main installation step. It would be nice to have a minimal KDE install that leaves out anything not strictly necessary to reach a KDE desktop with working app launcher, minimalist panel, YaST2, KControl, Konsole and nothing else. The way it is now it seems for every other needed app selected 3-6 recommends get yanked in with it.
Very true, inorder to make it works out of the box ( what ever that means) there is lots of unneeded stuff being installed marked with required. For instance rpm -q --requires myspell-german igerman98-doc rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1 rpm -ql igerman98-doc /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/BUGS /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/Changes /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/Copyright /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/Credits /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/Disabled.words /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/GPL2 /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/GPLv3 /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/KonjunktivII /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/README /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/README.emacs /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/README.ligatures /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/README.swiss /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/RSR /usr/share/doc/packages/igerman98-doc/TODO Really? Do I really need to have a documentation package inorder to have a working spellcheck. That is absurd The list goes on and on. Before 12.1 hits the market a serious dependecy check should be done IMO. Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
