Description Rahul Sundaram 2008-01-07 19:01:59 UTC

Description of problem:

NetworkManager-gnome seems to pull in a number of unneeded dependencies. I am
trying to use NetworkManager-gnome by default in the Xfce spin I am working on.
Maybe create a NetworkManager-gtk as a alternative for those who want to have a
frontend without all the GNOME dependencies. 

Actual results:

# yum install NetworkManager-gnome

Expected results:

I am pretty sure gnome-panel and evolution-data-server is not required to run
NetworkManager-gnome outside of the GNOME environment. Not sure what else is not
needed but has been made a dependency just so that they all are normally
installed together.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2008-10-13 19:33:07 UTC

Annoying for KDE folks as well until knetworkmanager is up to snuff.

Comment 3 John Poelstra 2008-10-13 20:56:26 UTC

This bug has been triaged

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2008-10-14 02:46:59 UTC

The gnome-panel dependency is what pulls in most of the rest, and looks to me like it could be dropped without adverse effects.

Comment 5 Dan Williams 2008-10-14 14:46:35 UTC

yeah, the applet no longer links to anything in gnome-panel-devel.  will remove the dep.

Comment 6 Dan Williams 2008-11-02 21:46:48 UTC

Dep has been removed in rawhide, will filter down to F8 and F9 as well.
