In responding, please comment if you want it kept in core or in extras and why.
Removed from consiteration
Xaw3d - required by emacs and emacs is being kept
bogl* - kernel 2.2 fb graphics lib d:0 ( should update dependancies here if it's required by the installer! )
epic/irssi? epic is there and it's the only text mode irc client unless we want to swap it out for irssi
Ojections, but I still believe could be moved.
dovecot - IPAP server - 2 objections, but if you can server to the internet, you can download it from extras. Ether this or cyrus should be cut.
ElectricFence - Development only nothing depends on it - 1 objection, but I still say it's usage does not justify it remaining in core - there is at least one competing package ( dmalloc, valgrind )
lynx/elinks - 1 objection about scripts using lynx... ether those scripts are not part of core or they are not marked correctly. If you can surf the web with either, you can download them from extras. If either has a dependancy in core the .src.rpm needs to be corrected.
doxygen - Sorce code documentation generator D:0 - 1 objecton - I don't think we necessarly need to keep every build dependancy in core.
Likley without objections
SDL* - kdeaddons is the only thing that depends on this
+ kdeaddons - small add on packages. not 100% necessary
Canna - Superceeded by IIMF - nothing depends ! 10MB
MAKEDEV - Superceeded by udev ?
*VFlib2 - Required by MajicPoint and ghostscript - only if we can break the ghostscript compatibility
+ MagicPoint - Duplicated functionality already in other packages
a2ps - text to postscript tool required by xfprint
awesfx - OLD ( 2000 ) D:0
cdecl - C/C++ to English conversion D:0
dasher - obscure alternate input method ! 10MB
apel - extras for emacs
+ ddskk - extra input methods for emacs
+ flim - message encoding emacs
+ wl - imap/pop/nntp reader
arptables_jf - specialized filtering of arp D:0
cscope - c code browser - duplicate effort D:0
Possible without objections Guppi ccs - cluster config? cdlabelgen - does anyone use? D:0 autorun - functionality in most desktops already d:0
More to follow....
Cheers, Eric
