Dependency

[Mukund]

Hi All,

Today I was installing a package on my Suse which was around 2.3 MB.I used
Yast for that and found that there were 104 dependencies roughly 168
MB!!!!...which i promptly accepted.But my question is

" Today we say there should be less coupling and more cohesion "

I find Linux a great open source operating system especially Suse.I ditched
my windows and started using it but then the above problem arises once in a
blue moon.

So why all the dependencies...when one module/software has to be changed or
a new one is to be incorporated we have to change all the existing ones in
the above case.Doesn't this hamper our progress? Is there a solution to this
?


thanks,

I tried to avoid top posting but some problem :(
Mukund Good qeustion
I agree with Low Coupling and High Cohesion
Yes truly it does hamper in terms of
memory consumption on ur disk
and same library of different versions being loaded by different
applications.
and i dont think pkg-config does something about this ?
some guys with good linux experience can answer this
