Well, with tools like aptitude, there is not much of a difference. > initramfs-tools will pull in udev which is unwanted for some, and yaird > will similarly pull in perl dependencies that is unwanted for some. perl dependencies are hardly problematic, especially since we have perl-base, altough it would be good to make yaird depend on perl-base only, but we discussed this already. Udev might be more legitimate to not want though. > Sure, both can be seen as weird complaints (I have had my fights with > convincing the php4 maintainer to not depend on X11 by default when This is also a sane complaint, we divided ocaml packages between the x version and the nox stuff too. > sanely avoidable), but I don't think disliking udev should force one to > either recompile kernels or use equivs. Yep, that makes sense. Too bad dependencies don't allow us to do something more advanced. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
