Quoting Guido Berhoerster <[email protected]>:
evince and cheese currently recommend nautilus-sendto which
requires nautilus and thereby drags in almost all of GNOME. Since
both, and in particular evince, are widely useful outside of
GNOME (and part of the Xfce pattern), would it be OK to replace
these direct dependencies with reverse dependencies in
nautilus-sendto instead like pidgin or evolution are handled?
Guido,
IMHO, the reverse is wrong and error prone: it is cheese that
interfaces with sendto.
What we CAN do is change the Requires to a Recommends (in cheese,
evince already has a Recommends): then it is not a hard dependency
and can be blocked out by the user, accepting the certain lack of
feature of course.
For cheese, the code is flexible enough to install nautilus-sendto one
first use (at least cheese 3.7.4 which I just looked at.. so 3.6.x
might not have this yet). But I'm not sure this works :)
so, I'd agree to change cheese to also only Recommend it...
