Package: gnome-games Version: 1:2.14.3-1 Followup-For: Bug #167372 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
The real issue is the 15mb of dependencies from gnome-games-data. By the time someone adds the 8mb or so of library dependencies, 20mb becomes a rather huge waste of space, if someone only needed a game of solitaire. Comparing to gnome-hearts, we notice that localisation files (and SVG images, which are nowadays packaged separately in gnome-cards-data) don't take much space. Rather, the issue is with the sound files that some games use and with documentation that could easily be packaged separately. Thus, we see that a really small gnome-card-games, without the sound files and documentation for the other GNOME games, would make a LOT of sense. A good compromise would be to split the card games (aisleriot, blackjack and hearts) into their own gnome-card-games and gnome-card-games-data, then leave other games in a gnome-games and gnoem-games-data that depends or recommends gnome-card-games. A good idea would also be to ensure that gnome-card-games would NOT depend on Avahi and other extraneous stuff. Rather, it would ideally fit within a basic GTK2 system. I really think that this issue deserves to be discussed with upstream. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-imac Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gnome-games depends on: ii gnome-games-data 1:2.14.3-1 data files for the GNOME games ii guile-1.6-libs 1.6.8-4 Main Guile libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libavahi-compat-howl0 0.6.12-1 Avahi Howl compatibility library ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-11 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.14.0-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.3-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.14.1-3 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-1 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-common 2.14.4-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-11 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxml2 2.6.26.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnome-games recommends: ii gnome-games-extra-data 2.14.0-1 games for the GNOME desktop (extra - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE9AmFeXr56x4Muc0RApcNAKCYVe6d9HsqkUZPIoDRLD+4QWUdUgCeJ3Oe jR2LIMBPN24I4U15Zt98+P0= =Xmp+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
