Subject: lmms: please lower the indirect dependency on wine

Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2017 14:00:29 +0200

Source: lmms
Version: 1.1.3-7
Severity: wishlist

Hi maintainer

Package lmms recommends lmms-vst-server:i386 which in turn depends on
wine32 and wine.

This means a typical installation (without --no-install-recommends) of
lmms will install lmms-vst-server, libwine and all of libwine's
dependencies.

Would you please consider lowering the Recommends:
lmms-vst-server:i386 to Suggests: lmms-vst-server:i386 ?

Regards
Graham

These components are part of the recommended installation by upstream.

I did consider what the right dependency is.

IMHO, this bug is wontfix and should be closed. However, I have no
authority to override a decision from a Debian developer.

It is really your call as the package maintainer.  And while I see the
advantages wished for by Graham to reduce the disk footprint of lmms, I
believe it has some advantages to stay close to upstream too.

This must be based on some misunderstanding.  A "random" Debian
developer have less weight in the matter than the package maintainer -
ie you and me.  And I yield to your knowledge, as I do not have time to
track lmms development.

I thus flag it wontfix.  I leave the closing to you. :)

Understood.

Closing, as already explained.
