Should su-to-root be shipped in a separate package?
Hello Bill,
Some weeks ago I proposed a new release goal which goal is to use su-to-root
instead of a custom *su wrapper in menu and .desktop files[1].
As Armin Berres stated on his message[2] there are some
dependencies/recommends/suggests that need to be considered first.
Since su-to-root is currently just a shell script I would your opinion on
whether su-to-root (and its translations and documentation of course) should
be shipped in a separate package so making the move to su-to-root only
requires a Depends: su-to-root which would be shipped as arch: all, instead
of a dependency on menu which is arch any.
This would have the benefit of making su-to-root OR depend, instead of just
suggest, on the several packages which provide a su* wrapper ensuring its
functionality.
