I am running MEPIS 3.4, a Debian derivative that uses KDE as its
desktop. I tried to install Pan 0.91 and found I had so many
dependencies from GNOME that I would, in effect be installing a mini
GNOME desktop. The .deb file on version 0.14.2 installs fine on my
present system.
I appreciate that Pan is designed to be a newsreader for GNOME but it
must be the de facto standard newsreader for Linux. Isn't it about
time that it was made non-desktop dependent?
Pan already is non-desktop dependent.
It only has three manditory dependencies:
pcre >= 5.0
GMime >= 2.1
Gtk >= 2.4 (though 2.8 or higher is _strongly_ recommended)
There are also two optional dependencies:
GtkSpell >= 2.0.7 (for spellchecking)
libgnome >= 2.0 (for url handling)
If libgnome isn't used, Pan currently falls back to the
$BROWSER environmental variable.
cheers,
Charles
