Option 2 is just weird. If a packager uses Suggests to express a dependency, that means the dependency should not be installed automatically. If packagers have to think "is my package installed by default and if so would it be bad to have this Suggested package installed as well," that's going to make Suggests much less useful. Option 3 would increase the need to manually add missing packages that we actually want. For instance, we currently have evince-browser-plugin listed in comps for Workstation as a workaround for not being able to use Recommends in Evince's spec. If we go with Option 3, we'll need to keep it there forever. If a package shouldn't be installed by default with another package, then Recommends should not have been used! I think Option 1 is the best, so that package maintainers don't have to think separately about the difference between install media compose and normal package installation.. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
