Possible dbus dependency problem #177

Closed davygravy closed 7 years ago

davygravy commented 7 years ago

Before moving from Optware to Optware-ng, I am testing the various packages needed for Bonjour (MacOS) and Airprint capability. I noticed that the ipkg installation of dbus pulls in sm, x11 and a fairly weighty pile of other packages.

Is this the intent? For routers (mipsel/Broadcom running TomatoUSB or DD-WRT for instance), it seems a bit heavy-handed. Also, for comparison, Debian does not list either of these packages as dependencies, but rather as suggestions.

Would changing x11 and sm to suggested's rather than dependency's break anything?

The reason to depend on X11 and sm was dbus-launch command that's linked against libX11, libSM and libICE. Now dbus-launch is available as a separate package, and x11 dependencies for dbus package are removed
