I'm considering writing a Type: -nox variant, which I might need a little guidance with. I'm armed with the packaging manual and some examples (emacs22.info, vim.info). Ineed a little advice on which dependencies I can drop for -nox. For example, can I remove all of the gnome, gtk, pango, cairo deps?Many of the upper-level gnome dependencies can probably be removed, period, even in a fully-gui-enabled package. They appear to be unused by graphviz itself, and were probably only needed via inheritance from older versions of some dependency. By setting the current (unstable) versions of the dependencies, you can eliminate all the packages related to avahi, bonobo, bonoboui, gnome-vfs, gnome-keyring, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, libgnomeui, libart2, popt. You can also simplify the ConfigureParams: don't need any FREETYPE2_*, and don't need the pango-ft219 or freetype219 components in PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Unrelated dependency bug: configure autodetects the gts/gts-shlibs and lasi-dev/lasi-shlibs packages, so need to add dependencies on them or force them to be ignored. Also detection of ghostscript (iapi.h and -lgs) and DevIL fail because those libs aren't in fink *right now*, but for sanity should still disable detection in case they ever do get into fink.
Actually, libdevil1 is in fink unstable. Daniel
