what you're basically saying is that it's up to the person making |
| 7 |
each build to make the choice of which lib to prioritize. |
| 8 |
personally, I find this rather icky, because it demands that the |
| 9 |
person installing the packages can't say "media(gdkpixbuf,imlib) and |
| 10 |
be sure that nothing ever needing just gdkpixbuf won't install |
| 11 |
imlib. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
the dependency is in the wrong place, it should be with the |
| 14 |
maintainer of the box, not the maintainer of the package. the person |
| 15 |
packing the stuff _might_ have a reason for wanting one thing, while |
| 16 |
another user might need something else. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
just think of a package that could select between using a kde or a |
| 19 |
gnome wrapping. the packagers personal choice isn't what I want. :-) |
