And to clarify, we don't break other packages. Disabling this by default would break some GNOME packages and that's not what I want. For those who are not building GNOME, we explain how to omit it. Deps were listed as recommended once, but as I mentioned, I was somehow "forced" to make it like this just for the sake of "I hate GNOME, I don't want the components it requires as recommended". That's why I created the "Optional (Required for GNOME)" dependency listing but we agreed not to disable anything by default that other package might need. I'll revert the commit now. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
