All of the dependencies found by ldd are already required by the applications using libmsn and msntest is also very useful for checking if a problem connecting to msn is caused by libmsn or the settings/applications using it. I would be happy to move msntest into a subpackage if it is specifically requested but under the current circumstances it would gain nothing and just add an extra package to the repos. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't... -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
