Description of problem: firewalld uses gi/gobject. This isn't in and of itself a problem. However, using this leads to a dep on pygobject3, which starts bringing in: - cairo - xcb - fontconfig - Mesa - libX11 etc. all from firewalld just wanting to use the mainloop and the Gio file monitor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.3.4-8.fc18 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum groupinstall core standard Actual results: Hey, where did the GUI stuff come from?
Looks like it can be 'fixed' by subpackaging out /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/_gi_cairo.so into a different package.
Do we know which packages require the python Cairo gi? As these would have to be changed to require the subpackage.
It's worth noting that pygobject already has a build-time option to disable the cairo bindings; that helps people building embedded systems and the like. I'm not sure though if there's much to do upstream to help - I doubt it's worth having a properly defined/documented extension mechanism just for this, since cairo is a special case; the combination of gobject-introspection/pygobject are the generic plugin system basically.
