Unless it has changed - the only reason Gnome depends upon arts is one single gstreamer plugin. I filed an RFE to have it split into a separate package awhile ago (I think pre FC3) and was told it wasn't worth it - even though without that plugin, I wouldn't need either arts or qt (both of which I never use) > > I'd rather people spent more time untangling this kind of stupid > cross-dependencies than arguing what needs to be made second-class > citizen. Modularization hopefully will fix that - if it is applied to things like gstreamer plugins (which is where the arts is pulled in) Some other apps (ie mplayer in livna) also want it - but only because they are generic onesizefitsall builds, due to a lack of a proper plugin architecture (like gstreamer provides) If you really want the qt/arts cross dependency from gnome removed - file a bug with gstreamer-plugins. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
