1 Hi,
2
3 what exactly do I have to do to keep the number of needed packages as
4 minimal as possible to provide X-libs to some applications - but this
5 machine is headless.. so there will not ever be a x11-server running..
6
7 I.e. I want:
8 - x-forwarding to work in installed ssh[d] (which needs but not limited
9 to xlibs and some applications like /usr/bin/xauth)
10 - the ability to use xlibs from e.g. Tomcat ("-Dheadless=true" setting on
11 startup)
12
13 But emerging "x11-base/xorg-server" or even "x11-base/xorg-x11" or
14 "virtual/x11" seems to be far too much to pull...
15
16 Any hints how to manage that?
