Package: gnuchess-book Version: 1.02-1 Severity: normal Hello! Thanks for maintaining this public domain chess opening book.
I installed it in order to use it with eboard, polyglot, and stockfish. This setups seems to indeed work correctly, as long as the PolyGlot initialization file includes the following directives: Book = true BookFile = /usr/share/games/gnuchess/book.bin in the [PolyGlot] section. As far as I understand it, this setup does *not* use gnuchess in any manner. Hence, I wonder why gnuchess-book depends on gnuchess. Since gnuchess-book seems to be useable without gnuchess, I would say that the Depends could well be turned into a Suggests. Is this correct? Could this be done in the next upload, please? Please let me know.
