Description Samuel Thibault 2006-08-20 21:11:07 UTC 
Hi,

in libgnome-2.0.pc.in, one can read

Requires: glib-2.0 ORBit-2.0 libbonobo-2.0 gconf-2.0 gnome-vfs-2.0

But when reaeding libgnome headers, one can't find a single mention of orbit, gconf or gnome-vfs. Libgnome itself uses them, but it shouldn't expose them externally (since that imposes spurious dependencies). The libgnome dependencies should hence be split into

Requires: glib-2.0 libbonobo-2.0
Requires.private: ORBit-2.0 gconf-2.0 gnome-vfs-2.0

We need to make sure we don't break a lot of packages that depend on these implicit dependencies I guess. A bit too late to start experimenting with this for 2.16.0 at least.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2007-01-08 18:01:05 UTC 
It's late again... should we try this for 2.17.5 or wait until 2.19 ?
Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2007-01-11 14:06:14 UTC 
Trying to do a build from scratch with this applied.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2007-01-12 11:55:16 UTC 
Commiting since I had no problems building a full jhbuild moduleset with this.
