"but since it drops files into application directories, fedora-logos itself requires many things so that there are no unowned directories or so that the right application owns it's directories. This is perhaps one case where we can forgo the policy on directory ownership" Drop the policy for fedora-logos or make fedora-logos co-own the directories. We can't allow blind guideline-ism to create such awkward situations where simply booting the system requires gtk! Alternatively fedora-logos could split off the /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz in a subpackage (still the same src.rpm) and grub would only require that. Please decide on what is better, if you want the FPC to exempt fedora-logos I'll bring it up there. But maybe the subpackage split is preferred. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
