I'm not having any luck figuring out how Yum can be limited to
installing only hard dependencies when any given package is installed,
avoiding "nice to have" things that take time to install and update that
I'll never use. If this is covered in the yum.conf man page I missed it.
In zypper's zypp.conf this is done via InstallRecommends = no. In
Mageia, --no-suggests is used with urpmi. How is it handled in Fedora?
In Fedora, there are only hard dependencies - no suggests.
That statement in conjunction with behavior I've observed seems to indicate
hard dependencies have been created for what on other distros would be
suggests. e.g., 'yum install konsole' results in 1 package plus 190 dependent
packages to be installed, among them:
GConf2
cdparanoia-libs
5 gstreamers
libavc1394
libraw1394
libsmbclient
libssh
libvorbis
3 nepomuks
40 perl packages
2 phonons
3 popplers
2 pulseaudios
sound-theme-freedesktop
soundtouch
speex
strigi
upower
yum install kcalc isn't quite so bad, 1 + 125, and yet it's ka ka that a
simple calculator needs qtwebkit, desktop search, firewire and sound support
installed.
