>More likely that the two dependencies this bug is about would be cut as you request, or that nothing will change at all.
I'm not requesting they be cut. I'm not sure why you keep saying that when it just isn't true. I'm requesting they change to recommends. If Ubuntu sees fit to not include recommends for certain packages on the minimal install to hit certain targets or for users pulling in metapackages with --no-install-recommends, that obviously isn't up to me. Giving the user choice does not mean they aren't by default, installed. >But I also imagine nobody will ever bother with those because it's not actually important. Go look at size reduction over the years from bug reports due to individual files, kernel drivers, and pulled in packages that weren't actual depends. It wasn't so long ago this was done on purpose for Ubuntu server and snap purposes in a very open way. Every single time you can keep disk and RAM requirements the same LTS over LTS, that is a win for everyone due to the vast array of devices and service packages that Ubuntu runs on across countless industries. Every single package not downloaded, that wasn't needed, is energy and paid bandwidth saved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956126 Title: xorg metapackage depends on x11-apps and xorg-docs-core To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1956126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
