Re: Removing perl from the build
Hi Chris, I've gone through what's been pulling in the perl dependency and narrowed down the packages that are dependant on it to the following list. There's a number of easy fix ones and two that I need to dig further on. The first four should be a matter of just blocking them out of the kickstart file. w3m logwatch lftp fbset This one is because cronie wants a mailer. Daniel and I fixed this one on joyride by explicitly adding ssmtp (a 50K mailer) exim These two will be a little more interesting. I'm going to file some bugs against them. The second one I can't see why it needs perl. The first one we'll see. deltarpm libgnomeprint22 As a followup to this email I filed bugs for the two issues above, I was given permission to fix libgnomeprint22 (BZ 489227) which has been done and should show up in the next rawhide. Still awaiting response for the deltarpm one (BZ 489231). I can create a patch for the kickstart if that makes it easier for you too. As another follow up to this the gnome-python2-evince package (needed from sugar-read) incorrectly required evince-devel which in turn pulls in a chunk of the devel stack plus perl, I've filed RH bug 490112 to get this fixed so hopefully it should be done before too long. If you think its work doing quickly it might be worthwhile adding it to the F11Beta tracker. Peter ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

This has been fixed and I've asked if we can get it tagged into the F11 beta. Peter ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
