getFlash11.scm Bug
Jason W:
On second thought you are right, I will keep gtk2 as a mention in the info file.

now i have installed only gtk2.tcz because some extensions require its
and when i install any scm that requires gtk2.scm ie has it in its dep-file
then gtk2.scm even do not downloads and these scm are correctly use gtk2.tcz instead gtk2.scm
this provided in the script code /usr/bin/scm-load to avoid unnecessary downloads and overhead
p.s.
it seems to me that by getflash script creation flash.scm.dep with gtk2.scm do not be superfluous
but even contrary will prevent user mistakes

I completely overlooked this when I read the info file to find the use of the --available switch. It does indeed work when gtk2 is loaded. I just didn't connect the dots when moving the scm and md5.txt files from /tmp... that a dep file had not been created.

This seems a curious decision. Other scms that require gtk2 (or gtk3) are already in the repo that specify them as dependencies. It seems to break a central objective of the scm format to leave out of an scm app something that is an absolute requirement for it to fulfill its purpose. The result is that the application is no longer self-contained.

In view of this report it would seem the most favourable outcome will be obtained by listing gtk2 as a dependency of flash.scm
Edit
fix typos
Jason W:
Ok, I see the point, and having gtk2.scm in the dep file would be in line with the other apps as it is an absolute need.

Thanks.
One small matter relating to the info file, it shows an incorrect command.
