I would like to break out gnome-libs-1.4.2 into distinct packages for
each library, namely:
libart_lgpl-2.2.0
libgnome
libgnomesupport
libgnomeui
libgnorba
libgtkxmhtml
libzvt
My reasoning is two-fold:
1) Many GNOME 1.4 applications only require up to libgnomeui and don't
use the last three, and in addition;
2) libgnorba requires ORBit, and libgtkxmhtml requires libjpeg and
libpng, which the others do not.
Therefore packaging gnome-libs with a runtime/devel/doc approach may
pull in a lot of unused stuff.
But there's a caveat:
The current libart_lgpl-2.3.x package (which, BTW, has been bumped
upstream to 2.3.17) will need to renamed to libart_lgpl2. I believe
this can be accomplished smoothly though, as I plan to do with libIDL.
Commments/questions?
Yaakov
