Package: conky Version: 1.8.0-1 Severity: wishlist Hi!
Thanks for adopting my favorite system monitor! :-) I've just found out that the package has been moved to contrib, though! :-( After digging into the ITA bug (#536320), it seems to me that the only reason why the source package was moved away from main, is that *one* binary package build-depends on nvidia-settings (which is in contrib, since, I suppose, is useless without the nvidia proprietary drivers...). I don't want to use a package that directly or indirectly (build-)depends on non-free packages! I don't even have contrib in my sources.list, since it opens up the possibility that I install packages that download non-free stuff off the net, and so forth... If I understand correctly: * only one conky feature (build-)depends on nvidia stuff * this feature has been added to conky recently (hence it was not present in previous versions packaged for Debian main) * this feature is only useful to users that use the non-free nvidia drivers * this feature is only present in amd64 and i386 architectures For all these reasons, I think it's a shame that conky has been moved to contrib just for that new feature. Please, please disable nvidia-related stuff in the conky Debian package, so that the package may stop build-depending on nvidia-settings and thus may be moved back to main! The few users that want to take advantage of the nvidia-related new feature, may locally rebuild the conky package (just like they often rebuild nvidia modules...). I hope that I clearly expressed my reasoning and that you agree with me. Please move conky back to main! ;-) Thanks for your time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
