(which itself is not recommended or suggested by anything, so this doesn't add to the bulk of grass unless the user specifically asks for it) the primary 95% reason most people will install the grass-dev pkg is to use the g.extension module, which needs those two to work. The balance I think is to make the bare-bones version available for power/embedded users, and the out of the box ready-to-go version available for e.g. downstream ubuntu users who won't have a clue about build-essential, etc. .. for them the recommended set "just works". > grass already has a long list of dependencies... That is always something to consider, but IMHO it's mostly irrelevant as from my POV the choices should be primarily made by: - if the core package will not function without it -> Depends: - if the main package has many things which need it, but fails gracefully if they're not there -> Recommends: - if the package has one small thing or another which can make use of it, if it's present -> Suggests: and then let the bytes fall where they will. If a standard end-user does 'apt-get install grass' I want them to get a fully functioning bit of software, not just a stripped down embedded version and then complain that things don't work. (like the ubuntu bug report I got yesterday from an ubuntu user I was helping with what is in my opinion unneeded "some assembly required" additional steps) 2c, Hamish ps- these days since disk space is cheap, I wonder if we can finally ship a gmt-coast-high package instead of needing to run the bundled script to get that. ___ Pkg-grass-devel mailing list Pkg-grass-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-grass-devel
