[Gambas-user] Packaging problems with X11 and Wayland

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

I think that the problem with the current packaging and 'gb.desktop' is 
that when using a GUI component or gb.desktop, you need either X11 or 
wayland support.

But package manager (afaik) can't handle that. Either you create no 
dependency, and you have to install the x11 or wayland packages 
manually, either you created dependencies on both x11 and wayland, and 
it's idiot, as now you are force to install unneeded packages.

So I think a part of the solution would be creating two meta-packages: 
'gambas3-x11-support' and 'gambas3-wayland-support' that would install 
all x11 or wayland related packages ('gb.qt5', 'gb.gtk3' and 
'gb.desktop' have such packages).

What do you think?
