Crazy QT packaging

Crazy QT packaging

[Gary Thomas]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 621 bytes --]

I just tried to install 'fotowall', a QT application.  Much to
my surprise, a whole bunch of QT packages were installed, many
of which I have no need and don't understand why they are "required".

In particular, the examples and demos, plus QT-designer (I have
no development tools installed on my platform).

Any ideas why this happens?  how to fix it?

Install log is attached.

qt4.inc recommends all packages but some of them should be selectively
depended by actual recipe. Could you report a bug for it?

BTW, fotowall doesn't really work yet. There're several hard bugs reported around
fotowall, e.g. 348, 349, 336, 280, ...)

Thanks

Yes, QT cleanup is already one thing in my mind for quite long time, please submit the bug and I will take look.

Thanks for the info - I just picked 'fotowall' as an example Qt application.
Of course, now I have the whole example/demo set loaded... :-)
