Package: gnome
Version: 1:42+8
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
as it can be seen at https://apps.gnome.org/, Rhythmbox is not listed among
GNOME recommended applications.
In fact, it sees only minor changes and it overlaps in functionality with
gnome-music, which is also a direct dependency.
I propose to either:
* Move rhythmbox-plugins and rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder as "recommends" of
rhythmbox itself, and have the gnome package depend on
"gnome-music | rhythmbox" instead.
or:
* Simply demote rhythmbox as a suggested package.
It puzzles users to have two different music players (one of which very old
looking too).
PS. Incidentally, it is a bit unclear to me how the gnome-core package is put
together. Isn't that meant to contain also GNOME core applications, such as
gnome-music, gnome-maps, gnome-weather, gnome-clocks... which the GNOME
developers consider part of the basic user experience?

[ Matteo Settenvini ]
* gnome: Demote rhythmbox from Depends to Suggests.
rhythmbox is no longer part of the upstream "core apps" collection.
It overlaps in functionality with gnome-music, and does not follow
GNOME HIG guidelines. (Closes: #969289, #1027995, #1079596)
.
[ Simon McVittie ]
* gnome: Demote GNOME Music from Depends to Recommends.
We are discussing what music player should be installed by default,
and one option under consideration is to not install one at all,
which I think implies that any hard dependency is too strong.
Demoting gnome-music to Recommends means it will still be installed
by default (at least for now), but it will be easily removable,
for example by users who prefer Amberol, Lollypop, Rhythmbox or any
other music player. (Helps: #1091863)
.
[ Jeremy Bícha ]
* Bump more package versions.
Lower snapshot to 47~ since Ubuntu is stuck on a prerelease, due to
needing gstreamer1.0-gtk4 which is in universe.
