Description of problem: Slim should use the alternate system instead of requiring xterm as a dependency, therefore being able to use any terminal emulator. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): slim.x86_64 1.3.5-2.fc18 How reproducible: Just installing slim Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install slim Actual results: Xterm is a required dependecy Expected results: Be able not use xterm but any terminal emulator as a dependecy Additional info: Test on x86_64 fedora 18 pc.
Slim uses xterm in config as minimum terminal. What kind of alternatives you are suppose using there? Is there such symlinks to point on some abstract terminal?

Basically something similar to what the slim-update_slim_wmlist patch does, but instead of doing it for x-window-manager alternative and x-session-manager alternative could be doing it for x-terminal alternative.
I'm not argue to add such metarequire, but can't find something similar: [root@hubbitus ~]# repoquery --provides konsole konsole = 4.10.4-1.fc18 konsole(x86-64) = 4.10.4-1.fc18 libkdeinit4_konsole.so()(64bit) [root@hubbitus ~]# repoquery --provides xterm xterm = 291-1.fc18 xterm(x86-64) = 291-1.fc18 [root@hubbitus ~]# repoquery --provides Terminal Terminal = 0.4.8-4.fc18 Terminal(x86-64) = 0.4.8-4.fc18 Off course we may just try hardcode some names and search one of present, but as rpm does not provide soft-dependencies I still need some name to put into Require. Otherwise we have risk to no one have been found at runtime.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
