exclude_from_weak_autodetect enables autodetection of unmet weak dependencies (Recommends or Supplements) of installed packages and blocks installation of packages satisfying already unmet dependencies. In other words: When you don't have the recommended package installed, it won't be automatically installed with future upgrades of the recommending package.
+1 for the general idea but I would really like the feedback to be addressed in the proposal, especially:
+1 with the same request, though I think @otaylor may be working on solution for openh264 so that we don't have to rely on the upgrade trick anyway.
After a week, the vote is (+2,0,-0). Extending the vote another week.
+1 here.
Note that none of the concerns in my vote has been addressed.
Procedurally, I suggest voting -1 until they are addressed if you want your approval to be contingent on the changes. Otherwise it becomes ambiguous for me and the owners. If they're more along the line of suggestions, then a +1 is appropriate, with the understanding that they may not be addressed.
Understood. I'd like to see them addressed but OTOH I want this change to happen.
@jmracek are my concerns valid to you?
With content that is expected to be installed after upgrade it is difficult (openh264). There are workarounds but most of them are not nice or not useful.
Package on the image can be without recommend. Than after the first upgrade the recommended package will be installed. But who wants to have a special package for the image.
I am really sorry but I don't have anything to offer.
With please, rename the proposal to be more descriptive I am not sure what I can do after the change was submitted.
please, rename the proposal to be more descriptive
Please just change the title and rename the page. Mediawiki will redirect from the old name.
Maybe "Install only newly recommended packages on upgrades with dnf" ?
+1
This now stands at (+4, 0, 0) and should be considered approved.
