Installing Machinery RPM installs too many dependencies #222

Closed cornelius closed 10 years ago

cornelius commented 10 years ago

When installing the Machinery RPM, it pulls in kiwi and the glance-client, which in turn pull in some perl, python, and Java dependencies. Many users don't need them, and if they are needed Machinery tells the user what to install.

A default installation of Machinery should not install additional programming languages or related dependencies. It should only require Ruby.

This is the output of installing the RPM on an openSUSE 13.1 system, which didn't have Kiwi or the Glance client before:

This should be fixed now since kiwi and python-glanceclient are not recommended anymore.
