That is a rant, not a description of a problem. The simple fact that the package "libgnome-keyring" has the word "gnome" in it is not sufficient to qualify as a problem. As Todd wrote, libgnome-keyring itself has very minimal dependencies, it does not require the rest of the GNOME components. So the fact that git depends on it is not really a problem. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
