Hi, Through https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-658 Roman came up with a question and wants to discuss about it. How do you people feel about optional dependencies?
Most distributions put them in subpackages since: * It is optional and therefore not everyone wants to pull all the optional dependencies * It is easy to find out * It is easy to install * Optional dependencies know what to install. Without it, users would be left alone and would have to figure out by themselves and then do all the work by themselves to download all the additional dependencies Thanks, Bruno
