OTOH, the same can be said of lesstif > (only xganim uses it), but that is listed as a requirement. Well, technically GRASS doesn't have a hard need for X-windows either, but I think most people will want xmons & GUIs with a GRASS install. I expect anybody who doesn't want the GUI is probably able to take care of themselves. > I'd suggest modifying setup.ini to include the tcltk-grass package as > a requirement. Although, the tcltk-grass package doesn't list its > requirements (xorg-x11-base should definitely be in there). Done & done. As for tcltk-grass requirement, I doubt folks will install that package without the grass package, so hopefully all the grass requires: items will take care of tcltk-grass's needs. If not, we can deal with it as bug reports come in. Or copy what the main cygwin tcltk package's requires: has. My only concern is that the tcltk-grass package might need to have a conflicts: with the standard cygwin tcltk package; probably a provides: tcltk too, to keep other packages which need tcltk happy. (I don't know if those are real cygwin keywords- just to give you the idea using the Debian versions) Also, should the 6.2.1 grass package be removed from setup.ini, or does it not matter?
