I am at work and will log in and fix it when I get a chance.

I was testing my audit script to add missing dependencies instead of just echo a warning, and forgot to set it back.  It depends on a standard newline at the end of the dep files, so dep files without newlines will show this behavior.   
 
With the time slot I have each day to spend on TC, working carefully and keeping up with the pace are often at odds.

[Jason W]

This and the other are done

[Arslan S.]

add shared-mime-info hicolor-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme to dep list please

[Jason W]

Done

gnome-icon-theme is not a strong dependency, gnote just need an icon theme. For example works fine and looks fine in LXDE with its default theme without gnome-icon theme installed. I kindly advice to remove gnome-icon-theme from dep list to eliminate unnecessary loads and indicate in the info file:

'Install proper GTK icon theme when it is otherwise not provided'

Just another question. Why gnote need HAL? Is there any practical feature in the current TC environment?

[Arslan S.]

well today i did a base test gnote was crashing with gtkiconthemeerror that's only solved after i load gnome-icon-theme i think it is related to absence of a default .gtkrc file in home directory because gnome-icon-theme adds one if you look at its tce.installed script lxde has its own settings daemon which produces that file already

gnote does not depend on hal it comes from recursion i can not do anything about it

gnome-vfs depends on libhal and libhal-storage which is in hal.tcz

and libgnome depends on gnome-vfs

a similar problem with avahi.tcz only avahi libs are enough

[Arslan S.]

Jason can you drop gnome-icon-theme dependency please i will try a base test again later

[Jason W]

Done

gnote has a really huge dependency list. I'm convinced that most are not needed for such a simple application. As it is now adds extensions not used att all. However it is a nice application, but would be get rid off this overhead and make a bit more TC-like. It is a common tendency now to throw out HAL and replace with other tools. THis is why I'm curious which applications are really using HAL.

If there's a need, the libs could be split out of the avahi extension..

that would be nice if you do it

splitting avahi and hal like avahi-lib.tcz and hal-lib.tcz will help to reduce dep list a bit

there is still hal in lucid
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libgnomevfs2-0

if we build gnome-vfs without hal we will loose functionality in gnome like lcd brightness or volume manager

gnote is a gnome application but i also want it to run for other platforms just like brasero, totem, file-roller

Well, I'm not saying that HAL will be removed from the repo. But it is true that it is in maintenance mode and distros are just moving away. Message on HAL's home page:

HAL is in maintenance mode - no new features are added. All future development focuses on Software/DeviceKit-disks, Software/DeviceKit-power, NetworkManager, PulseAudio, udev, ...
