Hmm, as some one who also uses some thight on diskspace systems, I wouldn't like to see another dependency. Imho there are already to much "semi" dependencies. Like tetex depending on ed just for the configuration tool. Couldn't we make a some sorta mechanism to have descent fall backs for this, like an alias for fortune which always echos: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" The trick of course beign that that alias only is set if fortune isn't installed, same for some other things. I believe debian has something like that. Currently fixed in Raw Hide by adding fortune to the dependencies list, and we're looking at more elegant solutions. I'm not sure about your selection; doing configure --prefix=/usr --with-zippy="which fortune >/dev/null 2>&1 && fortune || echo All work and no play makes jack a dull boy." just seems somehow *wrong*. ;) |
