Description of problem: The alacarte package has high dependencies from GNOME. It fact, this isn't really necesarry. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora with Xfce 2. Try to install alacarte Actual results: It wants to install: bluez bluez-libs control-center gjs gnome-bluetooth gnome-panel gnome-panel-libs gnome-python2-gconf gnome-session-xsession gnome-shell gvfs-obexftp libwnck3 mutter obex-data-server obexd pulseaudio-module-bluetooth telepathy-filesystem telepathy-glib telepathy-logger xulrunner And other GNOME crap I already have installed. Expected results: Should only need gnome-menus. Additional info: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=21485#p21485 http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=21741#p21741 There should be 2 packages - one using gnome-desktop-item-edit and one using exo-desktop-item-edit. You can either name one alacarte-gnome, or name the second one alcarte-exo. On Debian for example, all GNOME crap is in recommends.
Yes, please package a version for XFCE. Having switched from Gnome to XFCE. I sure don't want all of the Gnome packages are currently directly or indirectly installed with alacarte.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
