I'm sure that there are hundreds of cases like this in Fedora, and probably the #1 gripe among Fedora users right now. Modifying every package to split out every optional component is a lot of work, but should be done. I think an effort to do this is key towards making Fedora a base distribution for all other distributions. The idea that you should install all optional components for every package you install is good on paper but not in practice, especially for making spins and custom distros. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
