This will let us drop the requirement of perl and all its deps from
the Fedora LiveCDs. These tools aren't used on the LiveCD.
Also fixes a spec buglet left over from creating the -devel
subpackage.

No go. I did a build against F14 repos for the livecd-desktop image and the

You didn't say why though. They could have been dragged in for
something else. Did you try to chroot into the image after the fact and
attempt to remove perl and see what complained?

Not yet. I was just starting to try to figure out how I could tell what
brought them in. That's a good suggestion though.

It looks like the problem is tigervnc-server. I am going to do a test to
see if yanking it stops perl from being pulled in.

tigervnc-server is required by anaconda which is needed to do installs
from live media. So just leaving out a package isn't going to work.
I still test to see if getting rid of anaconda keeps perl from getting
pulled in, but one of the two dependencies will need to be managed to
get perl off the live images.

Removing anaconda prevented perl from being dragged in. (Also I had removed
nautilus-sendto to avoid a dependency problem, but that probably doesn't
depend on perl.)

/usr/bin/vncserver is a perl script. One way to deal with this would be to
replace that script with a C program or shell script. Or perhaps if anaconda's
use is fairly limited, it could be supplemented by a simpler script or
perhaps running Xvnc directly.

I looked at anaconda and it looks like it doesn't use vncserver, just Xvnc.
So perhaps vncserver could get split out into a separate package for Xvnc.

perl-libs-5.12.1-128.fc14.x86_64
perl-5.12.1-128.fc14.x86_64
I don't think that has anything to do with this package:
pjones4:~/Download$ rpm -q --requires -p syslinux-4.02-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.7)(64bit)
mtools
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
rtld(GNU_HASH)
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
So unless glibc or mtools is pulling them in, I don't see how that could be
this. And if either of those is, that's still not a problem in this package.
Have I missed something?

Not for syslinux. But for the real goal, which is allowing us to get perl
off minimal live images, there is still a problem.
That's fine and all, but I still need testing on this package or it's not
going to help you with that goal.

Later tests showed that this version of syslinux is not pulling in perl and
is not blocking a compose of the CD sized desktop spin. I didn't test that
it actually worked as a live image.
I'm working on a fudged tigervnc to see if I can get one with anaconda,
but not perl that boots. I'll have that test done later today. I probably
won't get to do an install test.

It looks like there is a separate bug for getting rid of this dependency
and the tigervnc owner is making a change now.
Though anaconda needs to have a requires changed, so it looks like I'll
be fudging that instead.

I built a live image for x86_64 using the new syslinux, tigervnc from koji
and a custom anaconda using some changes committed upstream, but not in
a published rpm yet, based on the livecd-desktop ks file with nautilus-sendto
and evince* subtracted due to dependency issues.
I used livecd-iso-to-disk to get the image on a usb device and am using it
now to type this (via ssh). So on at least some level this works. Perl was
not dragged into the package set for the live image.
The x86_64 image is still over size, so people will still need to do some
other cuts to get that down. But it is still a nice size savings (I think
around 15 MB.) This should be particularly nice for people trying to do
very small builds.
