Package: bluez Version: 4.99-2 Severity: wishlist I'm using Debian on embedded devices which are scarce on flash file space. Naturally I only want to install the absolute minimum of packages needed. Bluez however makes this a bit of a problem, because it pulls in python, python-dbus and python-gobject. And they, in turn, pull in another 10 packages or some. All in all over 40 MB (extracted). Which is miniscule on a desktop, but considerable one (some) embedded devices.
However, dpkg -L bluez | xargs file | grep Python reveals that only those files need python: /usr/bin/bluez-test-telephony: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-simple-service: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-manager: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-input: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-audio: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-adapter: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-discovery: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-network: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-service: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-serial: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-simple-agent: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/bin/bluez-test-device: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/list-devices: Python script, ASCII text executable /usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/monitor-bluetooth: Python script, ASCII text executable Question: is it possible to move all of those python files into some other package, e.g. bluez-test-scripts? And is it possible to move bluez-simple-* also away? I'm not sure how important they are, so I cannot judge here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
