[RFC] Restructure GNOME metapackage #22936
Conversation
Seprate out 'gnome-core' meta package. Move some applications from 'gnome-apps subpackage to 'gnome', so that it has "core applications" as defined by upstream: https://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/core/3.36 Update required versions of depends to latest available in repositories. [ci skip]
Renamed 'gnome' package, containing core essentials required to run GNOME. Few dependencies were added/ removed. [ci skip]

So should void-linux/void-docs#271 be blocked on this, or only on #21382? |
Yes this one too. |
| python-gobject>=3.36.0_1 | ||
| rest>=0.8.1_3 | ||
| tracker>=2.3.4_1 | ||
| vala>=0.46.3_1 |

Doesn it need vala, and yeld-tools?
I think it only requires libvala,

Sorry for the late reply.
Deciding what to add in gnome-core and what not is pretty subjective and hence open to discussion. As a reference GNOME considers these as "core" https://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/core/3.36/3.36.2/sources/. packages, which I've tried to replicate with gnome meta-package.
Personally, I am also in favor of moving these two to gnome.

Would it be ok to pull |

gnome-screensaver should be added to the metapackage. Without it, screen locking does not work. |

`gnome-screensaver` or any other screen locker is needed only if GNOME is not started with GDM.
If you're indeed starting GNOME with GDM, then try disabling shell extensions if you have any.
