Package: libaprutil1-dev
Version: 1.2.7-2
Severity: wishlist

I would like some of the libaprutil1-dev dependencies to be split
out to additional packages ala php-mysql so that the following
dependencies are optional and only installed by those who need.

this could maybe be achieved by creating a libaprutil1-dev-base or
-common and install the -sqlite package manually. users needing
all packages could just install libaprutil1-dev like they do right now
and get all dependencies without any change.

libldap2-dev
libsqlite3-dev
libpq-dev
libgdbm-dev
libdb4.3-dev

| it's not about disk space, it's about installing as few packages as
| possible to have a clean selection with a minimum of update
| needs/problems.
| 
| if Debian is "the universal OS" then it should allow clean installs
| without falling back to apt-build.

This is a _development package_, not something which drags in lots of
random on a nondeveloper's system.  And even if it was, it's just a
few libraries and nothing complicated.  Compared with the extra
overhead of maintaining a split libapr-dev, it's too much so we won't
do it. 

| one of the major reasons I'm using Debian out of the binary
| distros is that it allows me to install a minimal system and let
| me decide which packages I want, most of the time. although
| we are much better than RPM based distros which don't seem
| to have a "Suggest" field some packages are not done right
| regarding the features one can to enable/disable during
| runtime.

You can't disable the fact that libapr is linked with sqlite,
postgres, ldap and more at runtime.

| just take the libwxgtk packages which requires esound, this
| is only so because the packager did not split the package
| in -base, -sound, etc. the point here is that wxWindows is
| most likely used for the GUI abstraction and not for sound.
| insert `apt-cache depends xchm` here.

xchm doesn't depend on and sound on my system at least.

| I'm using libaprutil1-dev to build Subversion >=1.3.x/1.4(rc)
| and the dependency I saw with it is similar to installing some
| font or graphics libs which require the whole Xorg baselibs
| chain. I build Subversion, because Apache 2.2 is not in etch/sid
| yet and so it is built against APR 1.0.x right now my own
| -DLARGEFILE aka APR 1.2.x Subversion. btw, this does not
| mean I'm using mod_dav_svn, svnserve is all I need as of know.

You're aware that subversion 1.4rc is in experimental, right?

I'm closing this bug since we have no interest in the extra overhead;
sorry.
