Description Xaver Hellauer 2019-03-27 17:31:22 UTC
Description of problem: Some of the dependencies should be weak dependencies. On a minimal system that only uses ethernet and has an SSD drive, this pulls down lots of unneeded packages including the deprecated wireless-tools.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.3

Actual situation:

Requires:    alsa-utils
Requires:    awesome
Requires:    curl
Requires:    hddtemp
Requires:    lua
Requires:    wireless-tools

Expected situation:

Recommends:  alsa-utils
Requires:    awesome
Recommends:  curl
Recommends:  hddtemp
Requires:    lua
Recommends:  wireless-tools
Recommends:  iw


Additional info:

Vicious comes with modules and if you don't have wifi or you don't care for your hard drive temperature, you don't need wireless-tools and hddtemp. Same is true for alsa and curl.
Also, vicious has a module that can use the newer iw instead of wireless-tool, this should also be a weak dependency.
