netpbm maintainer (Yaakov?) --
The netpbm package is currently subdivided into the following:
libnetpbm-devel
libnetpbm10
netpbm
As the attached jpg [*] shows, netpbm pulls in a number of other
packages, including libnetpbm10 and various graphics libs as
appropriate. However, it also pulls in libX11_6 and perl.
The only application that requires libX11 is /usr/bin/pamx.exe ("display
Netpbm image in X Window System window").
Further, most of the scripts provided by netpbm are POSIX shell scripts,
along with only a few perl scripts (listed below):
/usr/bin/pbmtox10bm
/usr/bin/pnmflip
/usr/bin/pnmquant
/usr/bin/pnmquantall
/usr/bin/ppmfade
/usr/bin/ppmquant
/usr/bin/ppmrainbow
/usr/bin/ppmshadow
Would it be possible to subdivide the netpbm package to reduce the
dependencies of the main subcomponent? E.g.
netpbm
netpbm-X
netpbm-perl
(along with the existing libnetpbm-devel and libnetpbm10)?
[*] compressed into an xz file because the mailing list software is
ridiculously overzealous, as this is the fourth attempt at sending this
message.
