It should be sufficient to just include the following files in a seperate libgdm binary package (well these are symlinks so also need the corresponding files for /usr/lib/gdm)
/usr/lib/gnome-shell/Gdm-1.0.typelib /usr/lib/gnome-shell/libgdmsimplegreeter.so.1 /usr/lib/gnome-shell/libgdm.so.1 /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver There is no dependency on any of the other gdm binaries that I am aware of. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162849 Title: Split GDM packages Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The problem is that when someone using Ubuntu with Unity installs gnome-shell, they are prompted to choose a display manager but there isn't enough information about which one to choose. Original bug report ------------------- gnome-shell depends on gdm; however, it is possible to use gnome-shell with another session manager (esp. lightdm which is the default on ubuntu). So this dependency seems too strong. It should either * be changed to a recommend * be a dependency on gdm | lightdm (possibly adding other session managers?)
