Change some dependencies to recommends? about bunsen-pipemenus HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm not a script writer but wouldn't (I found this on the net)

blah blah
read -p "wget will be installed do you want curl as well? (Y|n) " yn
case $yn in
[Yy]* ) some command;;
[Nn]* ) different command;;
script continues

slap me if I'm too far off course.

That's the basic point, yes.
wget and curl do similar jobs, but their syntax is different so a script that used curl would have to be tweaked a bit to use wget instead.

Each of them is good, and I have both because one is usually easier to use than the other for some particular job.

Anyway, I'll do a grep -r and see what I can find.

I can't find any script in bunsen-pipemenus which uses curl. Is there any other reason it would be needed?

from bunsen-pipemenus.

I don't think so; I checked the curl package and the curl binary is the only one in the package. If no package uses curl, the dep can go.

Something's pulling xscreensaver, I can't remember what. I'd like that dropped so we can switch to light-locker, unless we want both installed.

It's a dependency of bunsen-utilities. If we switch to light-locker then bl-lock will be rewritten and the dependency will also be changed to light-locker.

Anyway I've taken curl out of bunsen-pipemenus' dependencies.
