Stripping of pathname-based and package-name based dependencies I can

Are they the same across all RPM based systems?
The library deps sorta have to be. The deps come out of what the program
is linked to.
as an example run:
ldd /usr/bin/xterm
and look at what it outputs
VMWare-server should probably be split into two packages. Only the
console portion needs the X libs and you can run it on a different
machine, a different OS, or not at all, so it wouldn't make much sense
for a run-time dependency for that part to prevent installation of the
rest of the server.
umm, okay. But no one here controls the vmware package. Hell, speaking
for just me, I don't even CARE about vmware.
I read that as "I don't care about fedora users" that want to run
applications of their choice. Whether that's what you mean or not, I
suspect I'm not the only one who sees that as the end result. If fedora
doesn't care about its users it will simply be irrelevant. If you want a
hint about how others feel, go to the distrowatch.com page and adjust
the time span setting to something recent on the part that shows
interest in various distributions.
