Quoting "Patrick Matthäi" <[email protected]>:
Splitting the package again would be too bloated in my opinion in this case.
Another option would be just to recommend GTK+ and Qt instead of depending on them. This way both GTK+ and Qt get installed by default (or the package is on the machine anyway), but nervous people like me could install w/o Qt (or GTK+).
Most people I know with a KDE/GNOME desktop also have got some applications depending on the over evil side, installed.
I have GNOME on most machines w/o Qt installed, but maybe that's just me. I assume, that at least some XFCE and LXDE users would prefer an option without 33 meg Qt dependency, however. Note, that in similar cases Debian does such splits, e.g. http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/v/virtualbox-ose/current/changelog#versionversion2.2.0-dfsg-1 or in some cases when complete RDBMSes or texlive gets pulled. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
