Since bins-edit-gui is (probably) not used by that many people, we
could also downgrade the Depends on gnome/glade to a Recommends or
Suggests and document the fact in README.Debian. I talked to an
ftpmaster and he suggested the same. Ludovic, if you agree, I'll
downgrade libglade-gnome0, libglade-perl, libgnome-perl,
libgtk-imlib-perl (anything else) to a Suggests and add something to
README.Debian.
22:21 < tbm> Ganneff: will you kill me if I split a package into two for a
26K script? But it's in order to remove dependencies of the
main package.
22:22 < Ganneff> how heavy are these deps?
22:23 < Ganneff> 26k is very low, but if the deps add a bug bunch of
packages it *may* be ok. (like eg the other can be run on
a server without any x stuff and the deps pull in gnome)
22:30 < tbm> Ganneff: yes, that's it. the package itself is something to
generate an image gallery; only uses Perl
22:30 < tbm> but there's some front-end which pulls in GNOME
22:30 < tbm> 251306
22:32 < Ganneff> another way would be to make the gnome depends a recommends
or even suggests.
22:32 < Ganneff> and mention in the readme that they need to be installed
for the gui
22:33 < tbm> yeah, that's what I was thinking about too
22:33 < Ganneff> for bins i would say its better to do it that way.
22:33 < Ganneff> its not that widely used.
