Dear Debian developers, There are some developpement with the circular dependencies problems:
The GNOME team has reduced the number of circular dependencies in the GNOME suite. Thanks! Robert Lemmen has made a script that show the circular dependencies in the 3 distribution and publishes the resut here: <http://debian.semistable.com/debgraph.out.html> Looking at the graph, there are a lot of dependencies that are not warranted. Some example: foo <--> foo-data: The foo-data --> foo deps is generally wrong. foo1 --> foo-data, foo2 --> foo-data, foo-data --> foo1|foo2: The foo-data --> foo1|foo2 is generally wrong. For example, suppose foo3 is released and depend on foo-data: this force foo3 users to install foo1 or foo2! Probably I should do a massive bug report ? Some of the most beautiful dependencies graph: * libxtst6 libxtrap6 libxrender1 libxrandr2 libxpm4 libxp6 libxt6 libxmu6 libxi6 libsm6 xlibs <http://debian.semistable.com/dot/xlibs_unstable.png> * libgnorba27 libgnomeui32 libgnomesupport0 gnome-bin gnome-libs-data libgnome32 <http://debian.semistable.com/dot/libgnorba27_unstable.png> * xemacs21-gnome-nomule xemacs21-gnome-mule-canna-wnn xemacs21-gnome-mule xemacs21-nomule xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn <http://debian.semistable.com/dot/xemacs21-support_unstable.png> * kaffe-jthreads antlr libgnucrypto-java libjessie-java java-gcj-compat gjdoc kaffe-pthreads kaffe <http://debian.semistable.com/dot/libjessie-java_unstable.png> * eclipse-pde-common eclipse-pde eclipse-sdk eclipse-rcp eclipse-platform-common eclipse-platform eclipse-jdt-common eclipse-jdt <http://debian.semistable.com/dot/eclipse-sdk_unstable.png> Cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
