Description of problem: I'm trying to install Fedora on a very limited storage and I noticed that gnash-plugin draws in a bunch of kde and qt stuff, I suspect this is not needed - mostly because Ubuntu' does not package gnash-plugin in this fasion. If it is not to much work for you I'd love to request that a similar split be made. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnash-plugin-0.8.0-2 How reproducible: 100%
I support this issue. According to http://www.gnashdev.org/wiki/index.php/Glossary#GTK : "GTK is the GIMP Toolkit GUI library. It is one of the GUI options for Gnash. As of Gnash 0.7.2, this is the more performant and feature-rich choice. GTK uses Cairo internally." And at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/manual/gnash.html : "Gnash requires the installation of at least one GUI library. GTK is considered to be the best supported GUI library option for Gnash." I don't see why Fedora's version of Gnash should be linked against KDE as the standard desktop is GNOME.
Well we already pull in qt as part of the gstreamer depending on arts stuff (which should die now that pulseaudio is our overlord) but I'm not a big fan of needless dependencies (trying to squeeze Fedora into 4GB with space to spare for a home dir is harder than it should be) - I don't think the KDE people like getting all those unneeded GTK deps either. I'll see if I can't be useful and knock up a patch to the spec that will be acceptable
This was an upstream issue, there are a lots of duplicates of this bug. Should be solved with the new version.
gnash-0.8.1-2.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
