Weak Dependencies from Third Party repos

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,
    I recently started reviewing a package called sway[0][1], which is
an i3wm[2] compatible window manager for wayland. One of it's
utilities requires ffmpeg and I responded to the Review Request saying
that we can not include third-party packages as Requires: so the
packager then moved it to Suggests: and I'm unsure if that's allowed
as there's no currently mention of Guidelines around that scenario in
the Weak Dependencies wiki page[3].

I've opened a Council Ticket on the topic but thought I'd also start a
discussion here.
