Mat is right, I too wonder if we really need gtk2 or perl or xorg fonts. I don't know how the titler and fonts management works in CinGG though, so I left them. I used to need other things like cmake (now maybe it's changed). The graphic libraries are probably partly installed by the DE, but I think it is not bad to leave them: if arch finds them already installed, it simply overwrites them without redownloading them, so it is a matter of seconds. Also the various ...-utils, vainfo, clinfo etc are not needed at all, but could be useful in case of problems, so I thought to leave them. You can remove alsa-lib; libpulse and python, because they are certainly automatically put in by DEs.
not really topical comment but on resource-constrained virtual systems I use fluxbox or something (not full DE)
Out of curiosity: there is also a list of dependencies in the AUR package, there are 32 of them. It can be found here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cinelerra-gg
I mean, like you, I'm not sure if it's better to have a minimal list or to stay with an " excessive" one. -- Cin mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin
