I think xrandr rather belongs in the 'management tools' or possibly even
'basic tools' category.

Bug#332521: Split xbase-clients

2005-10-06 Thread Elrond 
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

xbase-clients by now has an installed size of 4,5MB. Quite
a lot for a base package. One, that nearly every X
workstation has installed.

It has a lot of specific add-ons, that not everyone needs.

I've tried to create some categories of tools in
xbase-clients:

- diagnostics / debugging:
xev, xfd, xrandr, xtrap*, xlsatoms, dpsexec, dpsinfo,
xprop, xdpyinfo, xwininfo, glxinfo, xvinfo, 
appres, editres, listres, viewres,
Xmark, x11perf, and x11perfcomp
- management tools:
xvidtune, atobm, bmtoa, fstobdf, 
- desktop utilities:
(see Bug#199675)
beforelight, oclock, xclock, xmag, xload, xeyes,
xconsole, xbiff,
- demos
xgc, dga, ico, glxgears, texteroids, xlogo, 
- basic tools:
xset, xsetroot, xrefresh, xkill, xauth, startx,
xinit.
(for xauth see Bug#151613)
- discouraged tools
both xorg*config tools


The intention of this list is to serve as a starting point.
There are surely hundreds of things, that need to be
changed in it, and it misses some tools from xbase-clients,
that I do not use nor do I have an idea, what they _really_
could do.
