libevent doesn't need the dep file
« on: October 16, 2010, 05:59:20 AM »
libevent.tcz.dep lists python-2.6.tcz but this could be removed.
for example transmission need libevent but not python

The libs in the extension are not dependent upon python but event_rpcgen.py is a python script.

Would it be worth separating this out of the libevent extension or just have the user install python if an application uses this script?

My personl preference in this situation would be to note in the info file that python would need to be installed to make use of that script, but not have python in the dep file.

I agree with Jason on indicating in the info file that python may be needed. The dep file for this extension can be removed then.

I deleted the dep file and added about the python dependency to the info file.  Please send in a new info file if adjustments or changes are needed.
