Description of problem: Groovy requires ant which leads to the installation of java-devel and ant if you for example only would like to install freemind. Could we prevent this with the removal of ant in the groovy spec or put the part of groovy which requires ant into a subpackage. Hope this is easy to solve.

Any comments??
I'm not really sure whether anything there really needs ant. I simple dragged in dependencies that seemed to be present in upstream binary bundle. (/me shakes fist at java lacking a decent dependency mechanism) Let me check...

Ant is definitely used by main groovy jar at this point (see attached dependency graph). If you want it to be split up, tell upstream (or file a bug against ant to stop requiring java-devel for ant.jar). Alternatively, you'd probably persuade me to remove the ant dependency altogether if you demonstrated that it won't confuse groovy user and developer expectations. > repoquery --whatrequires ant This is meaningless. You probably wanted to use --requires if you wanted to demonstrate that ant drags in many dependencies.
Closing now since I believe there's not much we could do with this package at this point. Feel free to reopen should you have any further concerns.
