[Pkg-cairo-dock-devel] all cairo-dock plugins depend on cairo-dock package, should it be cairo-dock-core now?

This package dependence is an intention of upstream.
They think that cairo-dock consists of cairo-dock-core and all
cairo-dock-plugin.


When the cairo-dock package is installed as you say, all plug-ins are
installed.

Your opinion is justifiable. And, I agree with your opinion.
However, their user who has the idea like us seems to be in the minority.

I am having them take the opinion of upstream now and depend experimentally.
I remove from depeds with pleasure if there are a lot of opinions like you.

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
