Hi,
What type of dependency is best suited for yelp when a package ships
with help files?
I'd go for Suggests or Recommends, but it seems it's rather disparate
right now[1], maybe we should decide of that once and apply a policy[2]
once and for all.
[1]
% for i in Depends Recommends Suggests; do \
echo $i; \
grep-available -F $i -s Package yelp; \
done
Depends
Package: multi-gnome-terminal-doc
Package: gnome-core
Package: gramps
Package: gnocatan-help
Package: gwc
Package: mergeant-doc
Recommends
Package: gnome-terminal
Package: gnumeric-doc
Package: pybliographer
Package: epiphany-browser
Package: glade-doc-2
Package: anjuta
Suggests
Package: gnome-panel
Package: rhythmbox
Package: terminatorx
Package: grip
Package: gnome-utils
Package: streamtuner
Package: sawfish
[2] Is there an official Debian GNOME Policy? I couldn't find one in
the archive, nor on debian.org, but came across:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2003/01/msg00200.html
http://www.burtonini.com/computing/gnome-policy.html
with an error, out-of-date things, and a lot of TODOs... :-/
