Package: kotlin
Version: 1.3.31+ds1-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I'm using the kotlin package since I wanted to use the kotlinc compiler,
and noticed that it lists following packages as dependencies
* ant
* libmaven-compiler-plugin-java
* libmaven-plugin-tools-java
* libmaven3-core-java
I'm not using ant or maven, so this install (through transitive
dependencies) over 300 MB of unnecessary data:
----
Summary:
Upgrading: 0, Installing: 76, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 959
Download size: 69.8 MB
Space needed: 324 MB
----
If I force the installation without those packages, I get following summary:
----
Summary:
Upgrading: 0, Installing: 3, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 959
Download size: 0 B / 6,380 B
Space needed: 27.6 kB
----
Since the kotlin compiler does not depend on
libmaven-compiler-plugin-java libmaven-plugin-tools-java
libmaven3-core-java ant, would it make sense to move those dependencies
to recommended, or remove them altogether?
