Description:

Deluge doesn't require pygtk and pyxdg and librsvg to build since it can run as a daemon, a console client and a WebUI, none of which depend on any of those packages and if you want to run say just the daemon on a server, thats a lot of extra dependencies for the GTKUI that you don't need.

I propose either splitting the deluge packages like Debian/Ubuntu do into deluge-web, deluge-core, deluge-gtk and deluge-console or just making the GTK/GUI dependencies into optdepends.

Perhaps this should be 1.1.9-3 or wait for 1.2.0 to hit...hmm....
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  in 1.2.0. As deluge doesn't provide a clean way to split i decided to move all UIs related dependency to optdepends

Agreed .
I use deluge in a headless machine . the pygtk dependency chain is annoying .

AFAIK there is no official supported way to break up these pkgs. (Just throwing this out there)

 FS#15949  - [deluge] 'python-notify' should be optdepend.
This bug report is related to splitting up the package, it would be nice to have a deluge and deluge-gtk package. If i am bored i will see if i can make something.
