Just removing that RRECOMMENDS (or weakening it to RSUGGESTS) would run the risk of breaking images that are currently depending on it. I suspect there are probably quite a few of those and this might not be a good idea. Creating some kind of virtual for gtk+ to depend on instead of a particular concrete font does sound like the best way forwards with this. And, of course, individual DISTROs are welcome to eliminate that RRECOMMENDS in the gtk+ packaging. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
