Fast Version Control System
While this could arguably be a Recommends: rather than Requires:, we chose the latter for a few reasons. The user experience when running gitk and selecting "Start git gui" from the menu is quite poor. No indication is shown to the user graphically. The only hint as to why git gui did not start is output to stdout (and is not terribly helpful for users who may be using gitk and git-gui because they are unfamiliar with the command-line). There are no additional dependencies pulled in by git-gui which are not already dependencies of gitk. And the git-gui package is relatively small. Lastly, the default behavior of Recommends: is the same as Requires: at this time. If/when any of these things change, we may revisit whether moving to Recommends: makes more sense. Thanks to Vasiliy Glazov and Pavel Cahyna for reporting the issue and helping to determine the proper resolution. |
