(CPR-5) Move dmidecode from dependency to recommends #763

@stahnma stahnma commented Aug 15, 2014

Previously facter had a hard dependency on dmidecode. This made the
debian package uninstallable on ARM based devices such as raspberry pi.
This commit moves dmidecode from dependency to recommends. In nearly all
cases dmidecode will still be pulled in, unless it can't be (as in the
ARM case).

Note this is a packaging change only.

@stahnma if the goal is to make it not arch dependent, arch should be all instead of any

This commit moves dmidecode from dependency to recommends. In nearly all
cases dmidecode will still be pulled in, unless it can't be (as in the
ARM case). This also moves the package from all (meaning any arch it can
be built for) to any (meaning noarch).

Note this is a packaging change only.

Should this go on stable rather than master, or do we backport?

@stahnma i think the next facter release planned is 2.2.0, so master is the right place

Can we reference FACT-467 in the commit? May make release notes easier.
