ibus/upgrades

[Colin Walters <walters@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So we have in comps now:

      <packagereq type="conditional" requires="ibus">ibus-gtk2</packagereq>
      <packagereq type="conditional" requires="ibus">ibus-gtk3</packagereq>

But nothing appears to require any of ibus* in f15.  For Fedora 14,
nothing requires "ibus".  However, we have:

      <packagereq type="conditional" requires="gtk3">ibus-gtk3</packagereq>

And since practically speaking gtk3 got pulled in by other stuff in
F14, we got ibus*.

(Actually, what's up with the bizarre circularity in ibus where ibus
requires ibus-gtk2 and ibus-gtk3, and ibus-gtk3 requires ibus?)

The problem is that while not getting new default packages on "yum
upgrade" is a known issue stretching back to the dawn of time in
packages, I usually tell people to work around it by doing 'yum
install @gnome-desktop'.  But in this case, since the comps are
conditional, if you happened to remove ibus (as I guess I probably
did), then it's really not obvious how to sync back up with the
default.

This all isn't a big deal I guess since it only (I think) impacts
people who have done "yum remove ibus" at some point, which is
definitely a warranty void.

But any opposition to this patch?

Subject: [PATCH] Install ibus by default

It was default in Fedora 14 @gnome-desktop via a very indirect
mechanism, and so ensure it stays default for F15 @gnome-desktop.
