Review Debian Cloud package dependencies #941

Closed teusbenschop closed 1 month ago

teusbenschop commented 2 months ago

The Cloud version for Debian pulls in very many dependencies for a desktop version.

Things like desktop icons, a graphics library (gtk+) a compositor, (libwayland0) etc, etc...

Is this really required, or can the dependencies be thinned out a bit?

teusbenschop commented 1 month ago

Because Bibledit-Cloud uses Doppler, a PDF rendering and manipulation library, this brings in many dependencies related to graphical libraries. That is visible through the dependency tree:

It would be possible to remove the PDF handling capabilities from Bibledit, and the image capabilities. This means to remove the feature "Image Resources".

If there's no objections to removing this, it can be done.
