NetworkManager is build with "--with-modem-manager-1" config option in openSUSE, so it's the best we keep the "recommends". (In reply to Ludwig Nussel from comment #0) > NetworkManager recommends ModemManager means ModemManager get installed and > actived on every single system. Can the recommends please be removed? According to the spec file guideline[1], > Recommends: a soft version of requires. If the recommended packages are > not installed, the package will be installed anyway. Higher level tools > however may pull automatically recommended packages based on user settings. I don't think this is a issue. *[1] https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-best-practices/sbp-rpm-packaging/data/sbp-rpm-packaging.html NetworkManager should BuildRequres and Requires ModemManager if we want to provide NetworkManager support for bluetooth and mobile broadband(WWAN) devices. > Rpmbuild supports conditional package builds with the command line > switches --with and --without. We can utilise this technique[1] to minimize the requirement if needed. But it's not possible to install ModemManager on demand(at least easily). So proposing RESOLVED WONTFIX. *[1] http://rpm.org/user_doc/conditional_builds.html I have to reopen this. I am not satisfied with the current situation. For example on my workstation I have no wifi, no mobile broadband, no bluetooth device attached. Yet ModemManager is running. Short of not installing it what other options are there to avoid running ModemManager when it's not needed? Fxied in Tumbleweed some time ago. |
