[12:37] <jbicha> wow, not many people here :)
[12:37] <jbicha> besides me, we've got a bot, elky and two fossfreedom's
[12:39] <jbicha> One reason metapackages use a lot of Depends instead of just Recommends is to avoid odd things like bug 1635801
[12:58] <fossfreedom_> jbica: aye ... split personality ;P
[13:01] <fossfreedom_> jbica: so meta-packages should be ALL depends i.e. don't use ( ... ) syntax?
[13:05] <fossfreedom_> jbicha: ... would be helpful if I could actually type your handle!
[13:05] <jbicha> you can still use recommends but use depends for the stuff that users should definitely still have installed
[13:06] <fossfreedom_> makes sense
[13:06] <jbicha> the line is fuzzy though as there's disagreement about what users should be able to uninstall but still benefit from the metapackage
