I have verified that it is possible to use fop without ant-optional dependency. So it is just the ant task provided by fop that needs ant- optional.
Let's consider what other options we have. 1. Add ant-optional to recommends of fop. 2. Patch the source package to build the ant task in separate jar, make a separate binary package out of it, call it fop-ant and then add dependency ant-optional to that package. I prefer 2nd option. Let me know what you guys think. -- Please add dependency on ant-optional https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
