Package: task-desktop Version: 3.39 Severity: wishlist User: tails-...@boum.org Usertags: misc-reported
Hi, I'm using Wayland, and I would like to remove X.Org from my system. I don't care much really, for my own use case: I can live with the disk space cost. But once GNOME switches to Wayland by default in Debian (uninformed guess: in Buster), perhaps we can trim down a bit the (default) desktop installation images by not including X.Org in there. Removing xorg, xserver-xorg and the packages automatically installed because of them saves 8 MB on my system, so granted that's not much and may not be worth the effort. I see: $ aptitude why xorg i task-gnome-desktop Depends task-desktop i A task-desktop Depends xorg What can possibly go wrong™ if we replaced: Depends: tasksel (= 3.39), xorg, xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg-input-all, desktop-base with something like: Depends: tasksel (= 3.39), xorg | wayland, xserver-xorg-video-all | wayland, xserver-xorg-input-all | wayland, desktop-base ? FWIW, task-desktop seems to have no reverse-build-deps, so this should not affect buildds (that don't prefer the first alternative) for existing packages. Cheers, -- intrigeri
