For the record, we moved this dependency in a subpackage (gnome-shell-calendar) on SLE12 (since we didn't want to have e-d-s on SLES12) but I'd tend to agree with Dominique, it might not be a good idea to not enforce it on openSUSE (even more with the new notification UI in 3.16, I don't know how it would interact with no e-d-s running, but maybe I'm just paranoid :) -- Frederic Crozat Project Manager Enterprise Desktop SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
