Description Matthias Clasen 2010-08-24 17:57:32 UTC
To make the F14 desktop spin fit on a cd, we are working to get perl off the image. We just got rid of the last perl dep in syslinux, and now tigervnc-server is pulling in a new one.

If we can't get rid of it, we'll have to kick tigervnc-server off the desktop spin, I'm afraid.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2010-08-24 18:11:52 UTC
Of course, anaconda pulling it in makes that a little harder to do, grr.

So, perl is the 3rd largest package on the live cd, and it is getting pulled in solely for /usr/bin/vncserver.

Comment 2 Adam Tkac 2010-08-25 07:49:48 UTC
In my opinion the best solution is to create new subpkg and ship only Xvnc, vncpasswd and vncconfig there. tigervnc-server will Requires: <this_new_subpkg> so everything should be same for common users.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2010-08-25 14:14:39 UTC
And then anaconda will be made to require only that new tigervnc-server-barebones package ? Sounds fine to me.

Comment 4 Bruno Wolff III 2010-08-25 14:23:45 UTC
It looks like there is a test build of this being put together this morning.
Is there a bug to request the change to anaconda?
