Is the Nethserver Team could make meta-package with fine selection of package?
I was complain about /etc wich has x11 directories…
But /usr/share has kde directories, gnome directories…
Absolutly not… I’d installed Nethserver on a minimal Centos, wich have the reputation to be really minimum!
I think this unnecessary stuff is easy to identify and for the future to made meta-package to avoid install it, or another (better?)selection of packages…
There’s something contradictory with the modularity concept… Wich mean only the necessary is installed…
Each time you install a package, you install some dependencies too
It’s nothing to be concerned to and it’s out of our control, since we use packages coming from upstream
We can’t deal with compiling “our” packages
IMO, you’re wasting your time with a no sense problem
I agree with @zamboni: you’re concerned for nothing.
Some libraries are there because a package requires them. In your case, most of the stuff comes from CUPS which is linked to many X11 libraries: this is how shared libraries work.
If you have some libraries installed, this doesn’t mean you have a X system running.
I continuing trying to see something that don’t let me in peace…
With Google, I see that yum normally remove directories except when theses are not empty.
And yum don’t remove empty directories in my Nethserver instance !?! ( usr/share/cups/templates/eu )
Is a way to know what are creating directories? I have a /usr/share/games
If I want a firewall gateway on my network…It’s to control what is going through the network, to have a clean network.
It’s not contradictory with the need to control files on the firewall/gateway, to have a clean system.
If a single png files is need for doing something on the system, perhaps it’s not necessary to install kdm but just the png file, or made another rpm with just the png file.
For the future, It could be made a “nethserver-icons.rpm” to have a cleaner system in place to have X11 and kde component…
It’s this kind of things I’m trying to determine…
And when I have a chewing-gum stick on my sneakers, I removed it.
I wouldn’t go to nuts in removing packages. Most are installed as requisites of what you want installed. If you remove a requisite then you may remove something you don’t want removed. If you know all you did is install packages using the NethServer software center then I suggest leaving it alone, unless you really know what your doing.
Certainly I don’t explain directly what I mean to do…
I don’t want to remove requisites packages…
I want to know if the kdm package is necessary or not.
Few png files are here, in the system.
It’s normal?
It’s a dependency error?
it’s a package maker error manipulation?
In the other side, I’ve made a cups install and remove it.
Yum normally remove all included empty directories… But I still have empty directories.
Why yum don’t work as expected?
In the other situation…On the same Nethserver instance.
There’s /usr/share/games directory… GAMES
It’s normal? it’s this directory is a must have?
