RPM has pretty good support for autogenerating dependencies these days. If it turns out it makes sense to have the dependencies, I'm sure they can be made completely automatic without needing to manually add anything in individual spec files. Although I am not sure it's worth much effort because like mclasen wrote above, desktop-file-utils is going to be always installed in a Workstation install. :) > I suppose the flipside is that *something* should depend on desktop-file- > utils (ideally something low-level)... maybe any library (or app) that > expects xdg mimetype support to be present, so for starters that could > include stuff like: > glib2, qt > (similar arguments can be made for update-mime-desktop and gtk-update-icon- > cache scriptlets) gtk2 and gtk3 already have a hard dependency on gtk-update-icon-cache. Not sure if glib2 is a good place for desktop dependencies because glib is often used in low level projects that don't have anything to do with graphical apps. DNF for example indirectly pulls in glib2. -- Kalev -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
