Description Andreas Jaeger 2006-01-21 14:19:43 UTC

beagle has quite a lot of dependencies including:

rpm -q --requires beagle
mono-core >= 1.1.12
gnome-icon-theme
/usr/sbin/groupadd
/usr/sbin/useradd
mono-web
mono-data-sqlite
wv
gecko-sharp2
gtk-sharp2-complete
gmime >= 2.1.16
gsf-sharp >= 0.4
libexif
x11-tools
mozilla-xulrunner
galago-sharp
xpdf-tools

Does beagle really need all of these dependencies?  Especially gtk-sharp2-complete looks like it could be replaced.

Since best is not anymore part of beagle, I guess we can remove some dependencies as well - or create some subpackages.  For example why is epiphany part of the beagle package and cannot be an optional subpackage?

Comment 1 Gary Ekker 2006-01-21 23:49:55 UTC

I'll look into optimizing this.

We can drop some of the Requirements with the new release of beagle submitted to autobuild yesterday.

gecko-sharp2 mozilla-xulrunner at a minimum.

Comment 2 Gary Ekker 2006-01-26 23:20:15 UTC

Joe dropped the galago-sharp dependency.
I dropped gnome-icon-theme dependency

mozilla-xulrunner
The epiphany plugin could be splitout like the firefox plugin, but this doesn't pull in any dependencies.

Joe, should we split that subpackage out? Do you have any other ideas for reducing what beagle pulls into a KDE install?

Comment 3 Joe Shaw 2006-01-26 23:31:26 UTC

mozilla-xulrunner I think is gone now.  We don't need it for anything anymore.  The epiphany plugin could be split out, but I don't see any reason to.  It's just a build dep, not a package dep.

A new version of beagle will further split the UI and non-UI parts, so I think we can move the search UI into a separate package as well, and that'll remove the UI deps from beagled except for gtk-sharp and gtk+.

Comment 4 Gary Ekker 2006-01-27 15:35:49 UTC

Joe, are we expecting this near term for SUSE Linux 10.1?

Comment 5 Joe Shaw 2006-01-27 16:01:46 UTC

Hoping to do it for Monday.

Comment 6 Joe Shaw 2006-01-30 20:19:07 UTC

I checked in the 0.2.1 release which splits up the UI and non-UI elements, and added a beagle-gui package which contains only these bits.

The main beagle package still requires gtk-sharp2, but it no longer requires gnome-sharp2 (which in turn would bring in things like the panel, etc.)

So I think we can close this as FIXED now.
