rarian and rarian-compat (scrollkeeper) and more not needed

Description

I noticed a lot of /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-xyz programs on my XO in joyride-2301. Package rarian-compat provides these in a reimplementation of scrollkeeper, and it in turn depends on rarian. But nothing on my XO seems to depend on these packages or /usr/lib/librarian.so.

The only thing that requires scrollkeeper is totem-2.23.4-1.olpc3.4.i386. Perhaps if you build with --disable-scrollkeeper, you could nuke rarian-compat.

I guess the only thing scrollkeeper does is build the docs in /usr/share/gnome and/or /usr/share/omf. But since totem is the ONLY thing in those two directories, the directories themselves are probably unneeded on the XO, which might allow nuking rarian.

Finally, I'm not sure that the XO even needs the totem package. It is pulled in by totem-gstreamer, but the totem application /usr/bin/totem probably shouldn't be on the OLPC; only the Totem plugin to Browse, totem-mozplugin, is exposed to kids.

I apologize if I'm wasting your time, my rpm-foo is weak.

  • milestone changed from 8.2.0 (was Update.2) to 10.1.2

This bug is back in 10.1.2 candidate releases. http://build.laptop.org/10.1.2/xo-1/os852/os852.packages.txt has

rarian-0.8.1-4.fc11.i586 rarian-compat-0.8.1-4.fc11.i586

rarian is required by rarian-compat, that implements scrollkeeper, and rpm -q --whatrequires scrollkeeper shows a bunch of Gnome packages require it. There are a lot of files in /usr/share/gnome/help and /usr/share/omf, if the OLPC Gnome alternative desktop uses them and needs rarian to build them then perhaps this bug should be closed as invalid.

This bug is still valid, a 10.1.2 build made as Sugar only includes scrollkeeper, rarian and rarian-compat.

scrollkeeper is brought in by evince and totem, and brings in the rarian packages with it.

Current F14 build has rarian and rarian-compat, but no scrollkeeper. Strangely enough, if I try to rpm -e rarian rarian-compat, I get complaints that gnumeric depends on... scrollkeeper. Which isn't there, but I guess is depending on rarian.

Odd! Do we rpm -e --ignoredeps during our build?
