Package: python-gnome2-desktop Version: 2.22.0-2 Hello, The python binding for librsvg2-2 are used by desktop applications/interfaces other than Gnome, for example the OLPC 'Sugar' interface.
At present the binding for librsvg2-2 is included in the package 'python-gnome2-desktop', which has a significant number of dependencies on the gnome desktop. The dependencies are not require to work with/use librsvg. For the Sugar team the current packaging causes two problems: 1) A number of gnome dependencies mean that significant additional disk space is taken up, on a machine with limited resources. 2) For the LiveCD variant the dependencies pull in an incomplete gnome system which presents itself as a valid session from GDM, but is in fact is not usable. The suggestion is: 1) remove '/usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2-desktop/python2.4/gtk-2.0/rsvg.so' into it's own package named 'python-rsvg' (??) 2) add dependency from 'python-rsvg' to 'librsvg2-2' and 'librsvg2-common'. 3) add dependency from 'python-gnome2-desktop' to 'python-rsvg' 4) remove dependency from 'sugar' to 'python-gnome2-desktop' 5) add dependency from 'sugar' to 'python-rsvg' At present the reverse dependencies for 'python-gnome2-desktop' are: accerciser awn-manager cameramonitor cgmail d-feet deskbar-applet elisa-plugins-good gedit-plugins gimmie giplet gnome-blog gnome-games infon-devel labyrinth memaker music-applet ontv ows pybackpack pychess python-gnome2-desktop-dbg python-gnome2-desktop-dev python-gnome2-extras revelation screenlets scribes serpentine service-discovery-applet sugar termlauncher-applet timer-applet Thank you for your consideration, Simon Wood.
