Description of problem: Here are some remarks about the exo package * libxfcegui4-devel and libxfcegui are Requires and BR, although nothing links against that lib. * exo has a dependency on perl, because of exo-compose-mail-0.3. I think it is unfortunate. I don't know how to avoid that simply. Indeed it is used for almost all of the mail helpers which are in turn needed by exo-helper, and I guess exo-helper is used by other apps. * exo-devel includes a python module. It should certainly be much better in a python-exo subpackage. And the .a and .la should be removed from the python directory. * the mcs plugin isn't shipped. Is it intentional? To build it a BR xfce-mcs-manager-devel is required. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Thanks for the remarks. - Removed libxfcegui4-devel and libxfcegui Requires and BR - I don't know of any way to avoid perl. I fear it's just going to have to be in there. ;( - I have split out a python-exo package. In the older exo the python bindings were not very usefull, but I think they have gotten some improvements lately. - Added BR xfce-mcs-manager-devel to ship the mcs plugin. Should be in the next exo release for my beta repo. If that looks good after a bit, I will push it out to devel.
This should be pushed out to devel now, and should be available after the next push of packages. I had to also add libxfce4util-devel to requires on the devel package, because the exo pc file requires it. I am going to close this bug now, but if you spot anything with the updated package feel free to file a new bug or reopen this one.
