Description of problem: Deja-dup requires way too many dependencies on Fedora. I don't run Gnome and I would like to avoid as many Gnome based dependencies as possible. Is there a way to get rid of dependencies that aren't essential to the core functionality of deja-dup? Maybe we could package them as deja-dup-extra. Here are the dependencies required by deja-dup on Fedora. adwaita-gtk2-theme adwaita-gtk3-theme desktop-backgrounds-gnome duplicity exempi gjs gmime gnome-desktop3 gnome-js-common gnome-themes-standard heisenbug-backgrounds-gnome libcue libgsf libgxps libiptcdata libosinfo libpeas libquvi libquvi-scripts librsync lua-expat lua-json lua-lpeg lua-socket nautilus nautilus-extensions ncftp python-GnuPGInterface python-boto python-cloudfiles python-dropbox seed totem-pl-parser tracker Here are the dependencies required by deja-dup on Arch Linux. Some of them are optional and make dependencies. duplicity gvfs libnotify libpeas python2-gobject xdg-utils gnome-keyring (optional) - save passwords nautilus (optional) - backup extension python2-boto (optional) - Amazon S3 backend cmake (make) intltool (make) itstool (make) nautilus (make) vala (make) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The explicit requires in deja-dup is pretty minimal Requires: duplicity >= 0.6.23 Requires: python-cloudfiles Requires: dconf Requires(post): /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache Requires(postun): /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache Everything else is either getting picked up automatically or is actually a dependency of duplicity etc. The only think I can think of to split is the nautilus dependency into a sub package.
Thanks Rahul. That is something I would like. I hope that would avoid downloading particular themes and wallpapers which I think are pulled by nautilus and not deja-dup itself. Looking forward to the split packages.
Here is a scratch build for you to test http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7894485 I intend to push this change only for Rawhide and Fedora 21 however
