23909 2003-07-03 05:22 0000 add yelp to gnome-light 2003-08-12 20:21:52 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux GNOME unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P5 enhancement --- 1 dobradovic@gmx.de gnome@gentoo.org dobradovic@gmx.de 2003-07-03 05:22:34 0000 The wish to avoid gstreamer and its 200 dependencies let me discover the gnome-light-ebuild, which I think are a really good idea! Especially since the upcoming 2.4-desktop-release will be bloated so much... The ebuild asks people to comment on what to include/exclude, and there is one critical thing I noticed: yelp should definitely go in. It is lightweight and somewhat of a core component, as it is used by a lot of applications help-entries, and you don't really want to take that feature out? The rest is fine, don't know on how picky.I should be there, as I can emerge all the extra-packages manually. :) liquidx@gentoo.org 2003-07-18 16:04:05 0000 we probably should update the gnome-light meta-package as well, right now it still weighs in at about 127 deps, with yelp, it adds an extra 2 deps, yelp and libgtkhtml. it sounds like a reasonable thing foser@gentoo.org 2003-07-23 04:10:01 0000 yes it needs updating, just didn't get around to it yet. yelp sounds ok to me. You'd expect all basic functionality still to work (application help is basic). dobradovic@gmx.de 2003-07-23 12:27:26 0000 you could extend the thinking-pattern to include all the generic stuff where people have no real choice. I'd include eog and gconf-editor as well, but these one can be argued against I admit. But since gnome-2.4 will bring about 10 hours more compilation time, I think gnome-light will be more important in future. :) Another problem is the "gnome-desktop"-ebuild. I would have expected the official desktop-release behind it, as it's the official name. But in portage it is just the set of libs without any apps. Worth another bug-report? spider@gentoo.org 2003-07-25 04:34:18 0000 gnome-desktop : ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.2/2.2.2/sources/gnome-desktop-2.2.2.tar.bz2 and: Description: Libraries for the gnome desktop that is not part of the UI as that, yes, it is only some libs, unfortunately this may well cause users confusion. obz@gentoo.org 2003-08-12 20:21:52 0000 yelp has been added to the gnome-light-2.2.1 ebuild as a result of the comments on this bug (general consensus that yelp is fine). note that gnome-light should be updated to 2.2.2.
