Package: aptitude Version: 0.5.0-1 Severity: wishlist Proposal: aptitude is nice but its dependency list is getting longer and longer.
I see an opportunity to break it down into several packages. Take me for instance, who never uses the GUI and only uses the command line. So we see we can break aptitude into aptitude / aptitude-cli, or aptitude-full/aptitude ... aptitude-non-gui or whatever. Then there is this xapian stuff. All I know is that it runs this crontab every week building these big files. And maybe it helps during aptitude search or something, but perhaps there should be a way for people to opt out. Anyway, the new "aptitude" package would be a meta package, pulling in all components. And picky people could zap it and just install the parts they want. Otherwise hauling around so many tin cans behind the wedding limousine is bound to get snagged... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
