Hello list! I have a question about dependency of packages on multiple sound server libraries. The cmus [1] audio player has multiple output plugins, like roar, alsa, pulse, ao, etc. The package used to depend on all those libraries, but then users complained [2] because libroar1 recommends the roaraudio server. Although this is fixed now (libroar1 only suggests roaraudio), I wonder what would be the best solution for this problem:
a) make cmus-plugin-* packages for all plugins which require additional dependencies (like in sox) b) only make cmus-plugin-* packages for "rarely" used plugins (e.g. roar) and depend on e.g. libpulse0 c) depend on (almost) all dependencies I know normally a) would be the way to go, but since the player is really small I don't know if it's worth to split it into 7+ packages... What do you think? The maintainer asked me to forward my question to the list. Thanks for your help!
