The problem is that Fedora is too Gnome distro.
And instead of as Gnome/GTK spin builder as non-G* ones have clean
system and add required packages - G* users are happy but non-G* must
to pick out gtk/gnome from _clean_ system.
My aim is to create pure Qt4 spin (similar to pure KDE one).
As you can see - this task is not trivial. In contrast with pure GTK
or Gnome.
Perhaps I wasn't clear about what I meant by "minimal install." I
performed a text mode install of F18, which consists of 235 packages.
(This is not a Gnome or KDE spin by any means.)
All of libgnome-keyring's dependencies are included in the minimal
spin. And as Florian pointed out, those dependencies would be pulled
in by Qt as well.
Splitting the credential helper from the git package just because the
dependency has the word gnome in it is not productive. Unless there's
some other compelling reason to split this out which has not been
mentioned yet, I don't have any plans to look at it further.
