Description Miro Hrončok 2012-08-08 09:58:41 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #709166 +++

Description of problem:
The alacarte package has high dependencies from GNOME. It fact, this isn't really necesarry.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora with Xfce
2. Try to install alacarte
  
Actual results:
It wants to install gnome-panel

Expected results:
Should only need gnome-menus.

Additional info:

There should be 2 packages - one using gnome-desktop-item-edit and one using exo-desktop-item-edit. You can either name one alacarte-gnome, or name the second one alcarte-exo.

On Debian for example, all GNOME crap is in recommends.

Yes, please package a version for XFCE. Having switched from Gnome to XFCE. I sure don't want all of the Gnome packages are currently directly or indirectly installed with alacarte.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

This thing is no longer relevant.
