Bug#767043: ESS should not depend on R
severity 767043 minor thanks The vast majority of users of ESS deploy it with R, and expect M-x R to work. AFAIK, that's what Recommends is for -- install by default, don't prevent uninstallation. (The rare user who knows about --no-install-recommends probably knows what he's doing.) the minor inconvenience you experience via the forced install of r-base-core. Fair enough. -- Juliusz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I just looked it up for confirmation. | the minor inconvenience you experience via the forced install of | r-base-core. | | Fair enough. The difference is that Depends implies use for configuration which is not true. Recommends is for strong not absolute dependency and list packages ... found tohether ... in all but unusual installations. As you pointed out, this fits the issue. I'll make the change.

Package: ess Version: 14.09-1 Package ess depends on r-base-core, which is a 19MB download, and rather useless for people programming in Julia. Please downgrade this to a Recommends. -- Juliusz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

The vast majority of users of ESS deploy it with R, and expect M-x R to work. That is worth more (due to the number of potential users) than the minor inconvenience you experience via the forced install of r-base-core.
