Package: transmission-gtk Version: 1.77-1 Severity: normal Hello
I find the Transmission GTK client really sleek and featureul. However, the last version available in testing depends on libgconf and libcanberra, which is unfortunate for people who like GTK apps but don’t want GNOME. In see in http://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/9634 that the gconf dep was added to support automatic handling of magnet: links. If I understand the code correctly, the dependency is optional, and can be controlled at configure time. For the sake of people that would like to use Transmission in Xfce, LXDE or even with a WM but no DE, I’d like if you could build another package without the gconf dependency. (The package with gconf support could of course be available too, renamed to transmission-gnome or something.) Regarding canberra, introduced in revision 9546, my point is not as strong, since it is blessed by freedesktop.org. However, even if it is meant to be DE-agnostic, I remark that only GNOME applications use libcanberra and libcanberra-gtk at present. If you agree to build a gconf-free transmission-gtk package, perhaps you’ll want to remove the canberra dependency too. Thanks for considering this report.
