Hi, Indeed, I think that having only one backend by package might become quite quickly a nightmare to maintain.
So here is what I propose: - asciidoc-data (contains common tools, filters, lang files, backends => data from /usr/share/asciidoc/, /etc/asciidoc/) -> No dependencies - asciidoc-minimal (contains python files => /usr/share/asciidoc/asciidocapi.py, /usr/bin/*) -> Depends on python and asciidoc-data and recommends libxml2-utils, xmlto (you're able to generate man pages, xhtml using a2x and html files using asciidoc and maybe others, have to test) => recommends less than 25M of dependencies over the current 700M - asciidoc-doc (basically containing data from /usr/share/doc/asciidoc/*/ and man pages) -> Depends on asciidoc-data - asciidoc-dblatex (a meta package to get the dependencies required for further document processing using dblatex) -> Depends on asciidoc-minimal, docbook-utils, dblatex and suggests on epubcheck, source-highlight - asciidoc-fop (a meta package to get the dependencies required for further document processing using fop) -> Depends on asciidoc-minimal, docbook-utils, fop and suggests on epubcheck, source-highlight - asciidoc would be a meta package installing asciidoc-data, asciidoc-minimal, asciidoc-doc, asciidoc-dblatex and vim-asciidoc (keeping the current style of the package for users not to be lost after the upgrade) I'll also trigger an apt-listchanges NEWS file to indicate those splits. I'm not sure what the docbook-utils dependency is used for but as I was able to generate html documents and man pages after removing it so put only with dblatex and fop packages. Still have to check that. Would that sound a good start for you? Thanks in advance, Joseph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
