Bug#306882: Please, separate Ex Falso if it's possible
tags 306882 - wontfix thanks Since 0.10.1 the Quod Libet-specific deps have gotten much heavier. So for 0.18 I'll be splitting the package up into three new ones -- a separate mutagen package (#353505), an exfalso package which depends on mutagen (and won't depend on GStreamer), and a quodlibet package which depends on exfalso and GStreamer. -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Package: quodlibet Version: 0.10.1-1 Severity: wishlist I like Ex Falso very much, but I still prefer using Rhythmbox for playing my music. Can you (if it is possible) please separate Ex Falso tag editor from the quodlibet package, so I can install it w/o installing quodlibet?

Probably 90% of the source code is shared between the two programs (most UI code and all the file loaders). It's certainly not going to be done before 0.12. To do this, I'd have to split off much of QL into a quodlibet-common package (containing all the code), quodlibet (containing the quodlibet.py executable, and player images), and exfalso (containing the exfalso.py executable). The total size of Quod Libet, that isn't parts of Ex Falso, is under 100k. I can drop the dependency on quodlibet-ext to a recommends or suggests, which would bring the space down to about 20k, noise on a drive (but 100k is pretty much noise on a drive these days, especially the kinds of drives that store audio). Splitting the package would probably take *more* space than that, in the end. But I've been taking shit from other people to tighten the dependencies to include python-pyao, because apparently users can't be bothered to read Recommends: before installing something. So I guess the long answer is "Yes, it's possible, but it doesn't really gain anything and will probably just create more problems." -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
