Hi Yves-Alexis, the long list of GNOME dependencies is because of the nautilus plugin. I could either split out the nautilus plugin into a seperate package or exclude the nautilus plugin from dh_shlibdeps. As nautilus automatically provides the necessary dependencies, the latter would be an acceptable and cheap solution (and it's the one taken by our Ubuntu fellows). It would trim down the dependency list to: libc6 (= 2.5-5), libdbus-1-3 (= 1.1.1), libdbus-glib-1-2 (= 0.73), libgconf2-4 (= 2.13.5), libglib2.0-0 (= 2.12.9), libgnome-keyring0 (= 0.8), libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.10.12-3), libhal-storage1 (= 0.5.9), libhal1 (= 0.5.9), libnotify1 (= 0.4.4), libnotify1-gtk2.10, gconf2 (= 2.10.1-2), hal, eject Would that be acceptable for you XFce guys?

If you'd consider to use gnome-mount in that case I would prepare a updated version of gnome-mount. It's not a case of us trying to change this for Debian; you'd have to get upstream to change this which I suspect isn't going to happen. I can't really see much benefit to it. There's no upstream support in exo for gnome-mount currently. This may change when gnome-mount gets updated for the policykit/consolekit hal stuff but we'll see how upstream react to that at the time. The unsafe unmounting is done by hal anyway and whilst you may end up with some sort of corruption if you're very unlucky about when you pull the cable out, most of the time you'll just end up with files not deleted or no noticeable difference (except the annoying message of course ;)).

Hi Yves-Alexis, the long list of GNOME dependencies is because of the nautilus plugin. I could either split out the nautilus plugin into a seperate package or exclude the nautilus plugin from dh_shlibdeps. As nautilus automatically provides the necessary dependencies, the latter would be an acceptable and cheap solution (and it's the one taken by our Ubuntu fellows). Please note that skipping the nautilus plugin in dh_shlibdeps opens the possibility that your nautilus plugin will be built against a different version of one of these libs than nautilus itself is (like, say... gail or eel2, both of which are currently going through soname changes in unstable), and the skew would be unnoticed at the packaging level due to the lack of dependencies. I've seen maintainers move these shlibdeps for optional components into Recommends before. That still won't be enforced, but it's at least greppable/parseable and gives the user some feedback at install time (at least with aptitude) about why the package isn't usable. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

I think KDE should issue a warning too. 2007/6/28, Michael Biebl [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Rafael wrote: Package: general Severity: wishlist -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-6-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Debian KDE, Gnome or XFCE desktops should issue a warning when the user unplugs USB media without unmounting it first, as Ubuntu does.

It should do both if its recieved the patch from Ubuntu (and given it shows when its unsafe, I think it has - both were done at the same time IIRC). -Rob -- GPG key available at: http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
