* From: Tim Vanderhoek <vanderh@ecf.utoronto.ca> * I can claim a bit of the responsibility. It was done after Sue Blake * complained that there was no way to distinguish packages requiring X * from those that didn't. I wrote some extended message discussing * different types of dependencies, and then Satoshi wrote the change. * * However, my archives show I pointed-out the problem (with possible * solutions) from the start. Perhaps I would have been more urgent if * I'd forseen the future, but it's one of those things you look at and * figure "ah, it's so Freaking obvious that someone will fix it". * * The change was made long before the release and there was plenty of * time to fix any breakage. It was just never fixed. Ok, but also note that there aren't any dependencies left in packages anymore. I intend to ressurect those when the XFree86 port is broken up into more manageable chunks, but until then, the packages will ship with no XFree86 dependencies.
