Subject: hard dependency on telepathy-rakia

Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 21:25:07 +0200

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.20+2
Severity: important

The debian/control file[1] has explicit dependencies on packages like
telepathy-rakia and telepathy-gabble

These are connection managers for Telepathy

I'd like to propose that you allow virtual packages, e.g.


  telepathy-rakia | telepathy-cm-sip,
  telepathy-gabble | telepathy-cm-xmpp,
  ...


Then if somebody else wants to replace telepathy-rakia, they can include:

Provides: telepathy-cm-sip

in their debian/control file.

There is a specific example of telepathy-cm-sip in the works, the
telepathy-resiprocate component.  It will soon be built from the
resiprocate package[2]

Regards,

Daniel

   [ Michael Biebl ]
   * Switch from cdbs to dh.
   * Bump debhelper compat level to 10.
   * Drop explicit dependency on libgtk-3-common. It's an implementation detail
     and already pulled in by libgtk-3-0.
   * Move gnome-screenshot dependency from gnome-core to gnome.
     GNOME Shell has basic screenshot functionality builtin.
   * Drop mousetweaks from gnome-core.
   * Suggest xul-ext-ublock-origin instead of xul-ext-adblock-plus as it has a
     less dubious upstream.
   * Demote alacarte from Depends to Suggests so it's no longer installed by
     default. It's still somewhat useful for the Flashback and Classic session,
     so we don't drop it altogether.
   * Drop bijiben as it is no longer in the official apps module set and demote
     empathy to Suggests. This ensures we no longer install any applications by
     default which depend on WebKit1.
   * Move gnome-dictionary from gnome-core to gnome.
   * Demote brasero to Recommends and goobox | sound-juicer to Suggests.
     Burning CDs is less common nowadays, ripping CDs even more so.
   * Demote transmission-gtk from Depends to Recommends. Having a Bittorent
     client by default seems useful but should not be mandatory.
   * Add Depends on gnome-calendar to gnome.
   * Move gedit from gnome to gnome-core.
   * Bump versions for GNOME 3.22.
   * Demote aisleriot from Depends to Suggests for the time being. It still
     depends on gconf and we want to avoid this deprecated library.
   * Demote gnome-games from Depends to Recommends. While we want a set of
     small games installed by default, it should not be mandatory.
   * Bump GStreamer packages to (>= 1.10).
 .
   [ Laurent Bigonville ]
   * Add libproxy1-plugin-gsettings and libproxy1-plugin-networkmanager to the
     dependencies, this is needed for libproxy to be able read the settings set
     in g-c-c and detect network topology changes (Closes: #731130)
 .
   [ Simon McVittie ]
   * Make all Telepathy modules optional:
     - reduce empathy from being depended on by gnome-core to being
       suggested by gnome (Closes: #853910)
     - reduce Polari from being depended on by gnome to being recommended
     - remove Telepathy connection managers altogether (Closes: #838040)
