Description Bill Nottingham 2012-09-07 13:29:11 UTC

Description of problem:

firewalld uses gi/gobject. This isn't in and of itself a problem.

However, using this leads to a dep on pygobject3, which starts bringing in:
- cairo
- xcb
- fontconfig
- Mesa
- libX11
etc.

all from firewalld just wanting to use the mainloop and the Gio file monitor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.3.4-8.fc18

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum groupinstall core standard
  
Actual results:

Hey, where did the GUI stuff come from?

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2012-09-07 13:45:21 UTC

Looks like it can be 'fixed' by subpackaging out /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/_gi_cairo.so into a different package.

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2012-11-08 12:28:33 UTC

Do we know which packages require the python Cairo gi? As these would have to be changed to require the subpackage.

Comment 3 Colin Walters 2012-11-08 17:21:52 UTC

It's worth noting that pygobject already has a build-time option to disable the cairo bindings; that helps people building embedded systems and the like.

I'm not sure though if there's much to do upstream to help - I doubt it's worth having a properly defined/documented extension mechanism just for this, since cairo is a special case; the combination of gobject-introspection/pygobject are the generic plugin system basically.
