The usually 'recommended' software is the zeroconf/ 'LAN party' networking daemon (avahi) which is almost always useless. More generally spoken, neither Recommends: nor Suggests: declarations should exist to begin with: They both represent a perfectly arbitrary opinion of the package maintainer and it's not easily possible to determine what they'll end up installing or for which reasons. People who are convinced that their opinions about 'sensible software collections' are generally valuable should create meta-packages other people who want to use them can then install. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
