Which dependencies are safe to remove? #83

Closed woerndl closed 6 years ago

woerndl commented 7 years ago

When I installed plowshare via brew it came with the dependencies readline, bash, coreutils, gnu-sed, pkg-config, libtool, xz, libpng, libtiff, freetype, imagemagick, libcaca, gettext, recode, nspr, spidermonkey

Few dependencies and portable. Bash and cURL are enough for most hosters.

Since cURL and Bash (in my case on OS X) should be enough for most hosters, is it safe to uninstall the other dependencies or do you recommend keeping some?

I'm thinking especially about bash and coreutils, since I'd like to avoid conflicts with the native bash on OS X.

Hi,

bash, curl, gnu-sed are enough. Some modules use javascript interpreter (spidermonkey or else). For displaying captchas, an image viewer should be available (several are supported, see manual). coreutils should not be required.
