Yeah you're right -- that was oversimplifying.I think you need several metapackagesmetapackages for running gnustep appsgnustep -- synonym for
gnustep-clang (at least I think that should be the default)gnustep-gccgnustep-clangmetapackages for developing gnustep appsgnustep-dev (installs
gnustep-clang-dev)gnustep-gcc-devgnustep-clang-devAnd then that way if you're developing an app that requires libobjc2, you can just add
gnustep-clang as a dependency. (I'm not sure gcc/clang is the best approach. objc1/objc2 might be better...? Regardless, I think you name it
whatever would be most obvious to someone new to the project.)On Oct 17, 2023, at 4:39 PM, Riccardo Mottola <[email protected]>

development" "gnustep games" "gnustep net apps" (if we had more than gnumail...)could do.A "gnustep full" is a
bit overkill, but for whom wants it would be also easy to do. I don't know how xfce or gnome do things nowadays, because I always go the
"cherry-pick" route there too.These would just pull in the proper selection of packages which should be separately available. Not even
that hard, even on debian. Debian has most stuff already, except some long-standing missing things.With our private repo, even easier then. A thing
to remember would be to make them incompatible with the offical debian packages or something similar, do be sure that they don't get mixed
up.Riccardo
