Details

Description:

When installing qemu-base this pulls in mesa and friends which can be quite large.

├─qemu-audio-spice=8.0.2-1
│ ├─glibc
│ ├─qemu-common=8.0.2-1
│ ├─qemu-ui-spice-core=8.0.2-1
│ │ ├─gcc-libs
│ │ ├─glibc
│ │ ├─pixman
│ │ │ └─glibc
│ │ ├─pixman provides libpixman-1.so=0-64
│ │ ├─qemu-common=8.0.2-1
│ │ ├─qemu-ui-opengl=8.0.2-1


Resolution:

qemu-ui-spice-core should probably not hard depend on qemu-ui-opengl
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed with qemu 8.0.4-2 by slimming down qemu-base significantly

Note that this doesn't fix anything, as qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu-gl happily pulls it

Not sure if qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu-gl is really a `qemu-base` thing...

Sounds more like an optional dependency for folks wanting to have accelerated opengl in their VM, not a super common use case I'd say.

Yeah, it's not ideal. Related  FS#75078

I'd be fine looking at this/ restructuring the meta pkgs when back from vacation (early/mid July). Only around with a laptop currently and building large stuff like QEMU is unwieldy.

Please check whether qemu 8.0.4-1 in [extra-testing] fixes this issue for you.
