It sounds like adding Qt to hplip adds plenty of GUI goodies.
Could we
leave hplip as-is and have sane-backends depend on a Qt-less
hplip-minimal or hplip-nogui, since it shouldn't need any GUI
from hplip?
I haven't looked closely, but that sounds like a good approach.
+1 for not having Qt in %desktop-services.
Ludo’.
I really think that having Qt in %desktop-services creates an
issue
regarding not only the necessary dependencies, but also the fact
that Qt
has a propensity to issue non-free or semi-free components in
relevant
updates to their libraries and framework. I only worry about the
possible predictability of this happening to the required
dependencies
and ultimately causing a conflict with the freedom of the
end-user.
I might be over-thinking it.
But, another issue is that some people with limited computer
resources
might find that having these Qt dependencies to be a real problem.
