Description of problem: python-sphinx requires many X11 packages Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python2-sphinx-1.4.4-2.fc24.noarch.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install python-sphnix 2. count the packages with an X in the name Actual results: 21 for X, 2 for wayland, 4 for mesa, many others Expected results: 0 X packages
This probably could be solved by using Recommends: for graphviz. Not all packages need graphviz, and I think the ones that do should BuildRequire it explicitly. Fixing this could potentially shorten build time for Python packages with docs, and maybe uncover some hidden failures in RPM %check sections.
The downside of using Recommends is it tends to be treated as Requires. What might make more sense here is to create pythonX-sphinx-graphviz subpackages which contains graphviz.py.
Sphinx is used to build documentation, most commonly in two situations: - Package building (e.g. Koji/COPR), where Recommends should be skipped - Development, where a graphical UI is typically installed anyway So in this case, I don't see a problem with Recommending graphviz. When "sphinx" is used as a dependency in upstream Python projects (setup.py), it includes "sphinx.ext.graphviz", but not graphviz itself. Projects that use Sphinx are likely to document that graphviz is needed, but not likely to assume that a sphinx subpackage was removed by system packagers.
Ok. I'd guess anyone who cares enough will disable install_weak_deps. I'll set it to Recommends: graphviz.
