[Gambas-user] About rpm generated by the IDE

[Benoit Minisini]

To the packagers of gambas:

In 0.94, the rpm generated by the IDE have a dependency on a package named 
"gambas" that should include the interpreter and every component.

This is not a good idea, as installing a gambas application will require each 
component, and so each shared library used by them: SDL, postgresql, mysql, 
curl...

So I suggest making a package for each component, by adding to gambas the name 
of the component, gb being remove, and the points being replaced by dashes.

So:

gambas -> the interpreter
gambas-qt -> the gb.qt component
gambas-qt-kde -> the gb.qt.kde component
gambas-db -> the gb.qt.db component
gambas-db-mysql -> the mysql driver of the database component
gambas-sdl -> the gb.sdl component
...
And so on.

Is it a huge job ? I think this is necessary, to avoid installing many 
unneeded shared library when installing a gambas application.

Tell me what you think.
