Package: targetcli
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am setting op a NAS including an iscsi target. In the process I wanted
to install targetcli. I was very much surprised though, to find that
it apparently directly or indirectly recommends more than 1GB of other
software. Among the packages and package collections targetcli (indirectly)
recommends are:
perl, python, ruby, tcl/tk, part of X11, texlive, ghostscript
I assume you'll agree that this is excessive. As targetcli is a
command-line utility that could be used on a headless server, I
think it can be expected to be installable, including its recommended
packages, without pulling in packages like texlive or X11, or four
different scripting languages.
The cause seems to be python-epydoc, which is the source of most of
the recommendation tree.
Kind regards,
Rogier.
