maybe using optdepends would be better than depends.
I'm new to Arch, but when I install a package I expect that the
installed programs run after I've installed them. Without pyqt3
and gvim the programs do not run. So for me that's a clear
dependency (none-optional). Why else should I install the
icewm-utils if not in order to run them? ;-)
I mentionned it because icewm-utils contains several utilities.
For users who don't specifically use the icecurcfg utility, the
gvim and pyqt3 (with their respective dependencies) are huge
dependencies. If icewm-utils would only contain icecurcfg, then it
would be a dependency. I don't know what this package contains so
if icecurcfg is the main reason people use this package than a
depends might make more sense that an optdepends. Anyway, it's up
to the maintainer's decision.
Ah, ok fair enough. I understand. It's three utility apps (one
being icecurcfg) out of seven or so that do not work wthout gvim
and pyqt3. We'll see.
