As a side note, if your goal is "to maintain a minimal system installation", perhaps what you might want is to be able to configure dnf to simply *never* install weak (Recommends) or very weak (Suggests) dependencies. IIRC, this is configurable on SUSE - you can set this as permanent package manager configuration. I'm not sure if it is in DNF, but if not, perhaps it could be? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
