Re: wine depends on arts?

hi there,
we had this topic a few weeks ago with xine-lib and gnome-vfs .

Well I reckon this is contrary to the Arch Packaging Standards, which state:

Any optional dependencies that aren't needed to run the package or have it generally function shouldn't be included, but a warning message inside the .install file should echo something like: "To enable SMB support, download the Samba package."

and wine runs here without arts, KDE-COMMON!! and its dependencies.
like i said before: i dont like gnome, KDE and friends.
And i dont want to install any package which sounds like kde and gnome.
Thats why I avoid programms which depend on this packages.

Now it seems wine doesn't fit to  the Arch_Packaging_Standarts.

Flyspray'd

-=edit=- You'd be surprised how quickly the devs pounce on things listed in flyspray; it's already been assigned and slated to be fixed.  I doubt they have time to mess around in the forums, so they probably didn't even know this thread existed.
