Right, it's not. I know this because I always install apache on my machines because libsoup's regression tests use it (with their own custom httpd.conf.in), which is another example of a scenario where someone installing apache doesn't necessarily want it running by default. Of course, distros that think run-by-default-when-installed is the right behavior could just split the package into "apache-software-only" (or something) and have "apache" just be a tiny package that pulled in the software package and added the config files necessary to make it run by default. And then gnome-user-share would depend on the apache-software-only package on those distros. -- Dan _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
