(Cc'ing all the relevant package maintainers. sorry if I got someone else by mistake) We could get rid of a few packages on the OLPC in a cleaner way if we could loosen dependencies a little. Some random things I noticed: - cracklib has a hard dependency on pam. Is there a way we could make it optional? - mkinitrd depends on lvm2 and dmraid. Both could easily be made optional. - hal depends on cryptsetup-luks (containing bulky 1.2MB static binary in /sbin) - libuser and GConf2-dbus bring in openldap, which brings in cyrus-sasl Using pristine Fedora packages in OLPC is an advantage for support and upgrades. Also, reducing the minimum install generally benefits other Fedora spins for other small systems. -- // Bernardo Innocenti \X/ http://www.codewiz.org/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
