Thank you for the bug report. fros was installed because it is a dependency of libreport-gtk and it does not provide any screen-casting functionality. fros itself is just the bar with buttons you use to start/stop recording. So, fros itself must not have a dependency on any screen-casting backend. On the other hand, fros-recordmydesktop is a plug-in for fros which defines a bridge to recordmydesktop, which can record your desktop. The package was installed because fros-recordmydesktop is placed in several comps groups [1] and you can remove that package without removing any other package. If you remove it, fros will start exiting with "No screencasting plugin is available ..." error and that is correct behavior, because fros needs a plug-in to be able to do screen-casting. I hope I gave you enough arguments to understand why I think that the package that misses the dependency is fros-recordmydesktop. 1: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/comps.git/tree/comps-f23.xml.in

You did the right thing. > but i really appreciate all your info. I find the documentation of fros not very verbose and I wanted to provide a comprehensive explanation to clarify the situation around fros and its purpose. > if you consider please this report. now i give karma +1 in bodhi. This bug report is valid and I am going to fix it, however you have correctly updated the karma as this bug report has nothing common with bug #1231482 for which the bodhi update was created. Excellent job. Thank you!
