[ATrpms-users] new mythtv packages increased dependencies

[Bas Hulsken]

Hi Axel,

not sure if this is a bug, or a feature, but just thought I'd report this.

I've been using the atrpms mythtv packages for more than a year now, I run a 
headless backend, and a macmini ppc frontend. Up to now, only mythtv-backend 
(plus a few dependencies) was installed on the headless backend server, and 
only mythtv-frontend (plus a few dependencies) was installed on the 
frontend.

But as of the last update, this no longer works, I need to install both the 
frontend, backend, and all plugins on both the backend and the frontend. 
I've only updated the backend so far, and this resulted in 102 
(one-hundred-and-two) extra packages installed to meet all dependencies! Is 
this really necessary? And if so, what's the use of all the separate 
mythtv-* rpms anyway, why not just one big rpm?

well.. I'm afraid I sound a bit like a nag, I'm very grateful for your 
packages, it's a lot more convenient than building from source myself. I'm 
just a bit shocked to find out that the mythtv suite now has almost as many 
dependencies as a lean fc6 install.

best regards,
Bas Hulsken
