"Ship" and "require in the most minimal application-only install case" are different. And "eh, it's not that large" is the approach that's lead us to having a collective minimal set that is undeniably unwieldy. If, instead, every package at the base level would take modularity as a baseline principle, we'd be in a lot better and more flexible state. > Does it have such heavy otherwise unneeded deps? In some cases, yes. In others, it's deps that don't seem individually heavy but they add up. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
