Description of problem: RPM creates an automatic perl-dependency for aspell. This dependency is caused only by /usr/bin/aspell-import which is not needed for core functionality. Because perl is a huge package it would be nice when this requirement would be remove from the 'aspell' package. Ways would be: * move non-core tools (e.g. aspell-import, precat, pre*zip, ...) into a -tools subpackage * move libs into a -lib subpackage so that e.g. 'php' would require aspell-libs instead of a bloaty 'aspell' * do not package 'import-aspell' * move 'import-aspell' into %doc section and remove x-permissions Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): aspell-0.60.3-2
Hello, perl is quite common package and it is needed by many other packages so I think it is better to leave aspell with perl dependency.
> perl is quite common package not here. On most of my machines, perl is installed only because of bad packaging. Why do you want to introduce this huge dependency for people who do not need perl when there exist simple ways to avoid it?
can we fix this before the FC5Test2 freeze at 2005 Jan 09, please?
