Why dep file is not recursive?  I would expect a recursive dep file for newly created extensions especially one with such a long list.

[curaga]

Wow, 54m plus 120 deps? Lighter than I thought

Still huge.

Hmm, looks like evolution and gedit make up a part of it, would they be better as separate extensions?

[Arslan S.]

this is the latest stable release, gnome 2.29.x is development series and it will be released as gnome 2.30 in a month maybe (the current release candidate is 2.29.92) till then any feedback, suggestions will help me shape next update, some may think deps are too much but there is little i can do about it

i tested it with a p4 2.4GHz 256Mb ram computer but this is mainly recommended for modern computers with high ram especially

anyways here is the screen shots

at the time i prepared this there was no recursive deps

Hmm, looks like evolution and gedit make up a part of it, would they be better as separate extensions?

gedit might be ok without gnome but i am not sure wheter evolution would work without gnome, i know evolution greatly increases the size of the package (almost 25% of it) is there any other reason for splitting them out of package?

[curaga]

Well, users might want to have them without having gnome DE. If Evolution runs with only the gnome libs, it should be fine separated.

gedit is easy but evolution requires more (evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, and some other libs) splitted

first i will test them from base but who wants a text editor with 80 dependencies (i am not sure about the number, gnome-python looks like a run-time dependency)

[curaga]

Oh, another point I forgot to add - do you consider Evolution an integral part of the gnome desktop?

If it's a big part of it, and an user uses webmail for example, would make more sense not to have it there.

i agree i will remove it out as a seperate extension
