Hi,
I think I understand the topic of this proposal. IMHO
changing the role of meta package here isn't good idea. and
I wonder what you mean by -core. also wonder if we really
need a lot of meta package for only Ruby. I disagree your
proposal then.
However I like an idea of making a meta package like
ruby-stdlib. so another proposal from me to solve this
problem is:
- make a meta package like rubyX.Y-stdlib in rubyX.Y, which
has all dependencies of the packages built from Ruby. If
you don't want to install some package in them, you can
just install the packages you want from them so that you
can see which packages are provided from Ruby now.
- make a meta package like ruby-stdlib in ruby-defaults,
which has a dependency of rubyX.Y-stdlib according to the
initial policy of ruby-defaults. I mean it works for
providing the current stable version.
- add Suggests: ruby-stdlib to ruby meta package. IMHO it
should be sufficient since you can see which packages are
suggested by the package when you do apt-get
install. either Depends or Recommends is annoying to me.
Any idea/comments/thoughts are welcome.
Regards,
