Description Jarkko 2007-02-26 11:50:51 UTC
Description of problem: Latest fedora-logos in the development repository adds
requirements for all kinds of libraries. The package contains only images, so
clearly it should not require any libraries. What makes this really annoying is
that most of those libraries are X related. I *really* don't want to install all
those X related libraries to my minimalized Xen Domain-0 host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0.93-1.fc7

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Rawhide with fedora-logos < 6.0.93-1.fc7
2. Run "yum upgrade"
3. See the suggested package list
  
Actual results:

Additional info: I *really* hope those new dependencies were added accidentally.
I don't want to install X related packages to this system. :)

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2007-02-27 06:34:29 UTC
Pendantic directory ownership rules require these dependencies.

Comment 2 Jarkko 2007-02-27 12:02:55 UTC
You should distribute the logos more targeted.

There is an easy solution to this problem: Create subpackages in the spec files;
one subpackage for each package (or package group) which uses the logos. Then
make the depending packages to require the subpackage instead of the whole
fedora-logos or redhat-artwork.

At least redhat-artwork should be split I guess because that brings e.g. gtk2 to
the list.

Comment 3 Jarkko 2007-03-05 08:08:25 UTC
I have a really easy (and also good, I think) solution to this problem.

I bet all the other logos are related to a graphical environment (they are logos
after all), except: /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

I think with graphical environment those new dependencies are acceptable because
you would have those packages installed anyway (e.g. you will end up with gtk2
anyway because Fedora tools use that).

Just distribute that one (/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz) separated, and at least my
system would be fine with those new dependencies - because then I can remove
fedora-logos as an unnecessary package (this is not a graphical system).

Solution: Create a subpackage called fedora-logos-grub which provides
grub-splash. Then change grub to require grub-splash instead of system-logos.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2007-03-24 05:30:23 UTC
having all trademarked fedora logos in a single package is a requirement from RH
legal.

Comment 5 Jarkko 2007-03-24 09:07:19 UTC
In a single binary package? Or just source? My suggestion still keeps everything
in one source package.

Comment 6 Doncho Gunchev 2007-04-30 11:19:02 UTC
I don't like the situation too:

  - Why a minimal non-GUI system (i.e. simple router/firewall) should have
fedora-logos (and GTK and...) installed for of grub? Grub works just fine
without any logo (but 'rpm -e --nodeps --force fedora-logos' is much more wrong).

  - Why a KDE only desktop (just hypothetically, I always have KDE, GNOME,
XFCE4... installed) have GTK and so on installed? If/when system-config-* get
ported to KDE...

  Does one source package solve the legal problem (I hope so, good idea Jarkko)?

- Remove the Requires on redhat-artwork and fedora-icon-theme, and just
  multi-own the directories.  Fixes some hilarious dependency chains.
