Hi, I was evaluating the Dependencies of mailman3 in Ubuntu and I was wondering if I could cut them down a bit. One thing that got my attention is the dependency from mailman3-web [1] to nodejs for less [2] and ruby-sass [3].
I was wondering if we could by default not install node-less/ruby-sass and what exactly that would imply. I have seen they are used for python3-django-compressor integration, but not a lot of actual LESS or SASS snippets in any related package. So I was wondering if that could be optional. Unfortunately I lack the expertise in that area, so I wanted to ask the mailman3 developer and user community: - could mailman3 work fine without those packages (making them a suggest instead of a depends) - what features would be lost exactly to a user and/or admin of mailman3? - I guess we would have to modify the default config at [4]or [5] then - any hints? I'd be very pleased if you could help me to check the doability and the impact of that dependency change. Thanks in advance, Christian P.S.
