Correct: Build environments need recommendations explicitly declared as <br>
build-dependencies, when needed.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't discuss the usefulness of Recommends.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm trying to argue why in the particular case of eslint and of those three packages</div><div>(mentioned above) you put in Recommends, it breaks eslint for other packages</div><div>Build-Depending on eslint.</div><div><br></div><div>Adding those Recommends in Build-Depends is not a good practice, IMO,</div><div>for this reasons:</div><div>- separation of concerns</div><div>- Build-Depends eslint does not install Recommends resulting in a broken eslint</div><div>- when some eslint recommends change, build-dependent packages will just break again !</div><div>- worse (because undetectable) build-dependent packages will uselessly build-depend on</div><div>no longer required packages.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there a strong reason to put those three packages in Recommends ?</div><div>The economy of installing three additional small packages is outweighed by the</div><div>over-engineering needed to cope with it.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Because of that, I think it's desirable to ask for eslint maintainer (Jonas)</div><div>to also maintain packages Build-Depending on eslint... or at least, maintain</div><div>these packages's Build-Dependencies, because only the eslint maintainer knows</div><div>what he meant to go in there, for eslint to work.</div><div><br></div><div>Jérémy</div><div><br></div></div></div>
