Package: cupt
Version: 1.5.14.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

xserver-xorg has dependencies

 Depends:
        xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.9.0.901),
        xserver-xorg-video-all | xorg-driver-video,
        xserver-xorg-input-all | xorg-driver-input,
        xserver-xorg-input-evdev,
        libc6 (>= 2.7),
        xkb-data (>= 1.4),
        x11-xkb-utils

I have already chosen which input drivers I want (synaptics and evdev)
and which video drivers I want (nouveau).  So the dependencies are
satisfied by the second alternative (xorg-driver-video / xorg-driver-input).

Unfortunately "cupt full-upgrade" doesn't realize this until I say "no"
a few times.

Questions:

 . cupt is happy about the lack of video drivers but not the input
   drivers.  Is that because of the extra ...-input-evdev dependency?

 . can I specify my preference on the command line instead of saying
   "no, no, no"?  e.g.,

        cupt full-upgrade --without=xserver-xorg-input-all

   would be convenient.

 . even better, would it make sense to allow such rich information
   to be provided instead of "yes/no" in response to the suggested list
   of packages?

I imagine it could be useful to clone this bug for whichever
suggestions make sense and then close it.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Starting with 2.0.0~rc1, a new tutorial for Cupt is available, and
management modifiers are documented there in the section 'Combining
multiple version arguments'. I believe it's enough to close this bug,
please re-open if you disagree.
