Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: subversion-tools
"subversion-tools" depends on "exim4 | mail-transport-agent".
Sure, some of the hook scripts provided in the package do need a mail-
transport-agent. However, I would assume that if someone actually
started using those particular scripts, she would understand that she
needs an MTA. Or she would at least notice it very soon. This could also
be documented in, say, /usr/share/subversion/hook-scripts/README.
The package provides, among others, a useful program "svn_load_dirs".
However, to get this program (which, as far as I can see, does not use
an MTA), one has to install an MTA. This is a really heavy-weight
dependency for something that simple.
The default installation of Kubuntu does not seem to contain any MTA. I
am really happy with that (thanks to the team for great work!) and I
would really like to see that an MTA is not pulled in unless it is
absolutely necessary.
