Package: mercurial Version: 0.9.5-2 Followup-For: Bug #460943 I run a large number of servers which all use mercurial for managing various web-app deployments and configurations. I would be most gratified if installing mercurial did not pull in half of KDE with it.
I (and my users) find the rcs provided merge to be quite sufficient the vast majority of the time. Those who wish can run graphical merge programs on their own workstations or on servers with X libs installed. While I can work around this manually, I've had to clean up a few systems already where others just accepted the default Recommends from apt/aptitude. Please strongly consider putting rcs first in that list, as it provides the minimal functionality with no extra dependencies. Similarly, please make tk a Suggests rather than a Recommends. I've no need for it (or the rest of X) and it's not hard for those who do want it to find it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-xen-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mercurial depends on: ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.7.6 automated rebuilding support for p ii python2.5 2.5.1-6 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages mercurial recommends: ii rcs 5.7-21 The GNU Revision Control System pn tk8.4 | wish <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
