Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:3.22+12
Severity: normal

Hi,

investigating, why anacron is installed on my system, it seems to be
pulled in via Recommends of gnome-core and task-desktop.

Looking for the original reason, why anacron was added, I found:

meta-gnome3 (1:3.8+7) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Josselin Mouette ]
  * gnome-core recommends anacron, because some of the GNOME packages go»
    to the brink of unusability if nothing rotate logs.

The changelog for tasksel is not particularly helpful:

tasksel (2.58) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Per Olofsson ]
  * Add anacron to desktop task.

Regarding log rotation: nowadays, logrotate ships a native .timer unit,
which handles this task in a much better way then anacron.

Basically, all the important tasks afaics ship a native .timer unit
besides the legacy cron jobs, so we don't really need anacron anymore to
properly support systems which aren't running 24/7.


I therefor think we should consider dropping anacron from both
meta-packages, to have one less (useless) daemon installed by default.

Thoughts, comments, concerns?

Michael

   * gnome-core: Drop anacron (Closes: #913583)

   * Bump versions for the 3.30 release
   * debian/control.in: Switch from xul-ext-ublock-origin to

   * debian/control.in: Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0 (no further changes)
   * debian/control.in: Add pulseaudio-module-bluetooth to the gnome-core
     dependencies, both bluez and g-bluetooth are already pulled (Closes:
     #675808)
   * debian/control.in: gnome: Suggest gnome-remote-desktop, this is used to
     share the desktop on wayland, but it's not ready for primetime yet
     (missing SSL,...)
 .
   [ Simon McVittie ]
   * Set Rules-Requires-Root to no
   * Exclude gjs apps on s390x.
     These apps are not available there.
   * Allow gnome-flashback instead of -session and -shell on s390x.
     s390x doesn't have a working version of gjs, and GNOME Shell needs
     gjs, so we can't have the GNOME desktop there; install the most
     closely-related desktop we can instead.
   * Allow lightdm as an alternative to gdm3 on s390x.
     gdm3's greeter (login prompt) is GNOME Shell with a special
     configuration, so it needs gjs.
   * Revert "Build-Depends on gjs"
