Package: devscripts Version: 2.20.4 Severity: low X-Debbugs-Cc: par...@debian.org
Dear Mattia and Pierre-Elliott, devscript currently Recommends 'at', which therefore gets installed by default. I think 'at' should be a Suggests. The rationale is that 'at' is not popular enough to justify the following: - 'at' installs and enables the 'atd' daemon. I think we should try to keep the number of daemons installed on users' systems low, as a general rule. - 'at' Recommends default-mta, which is provided by exim4. I think that getting a full MTA installed is normally not what the user wants when installing devscripts. - The basic function of 'at' can be achieved by using tools installed in Debian by default (namely `systemd-run --on-calendar`). Cheers, Paride
