Hi.
When working on Minimal Platform [1] yesterday I noticed that xarchiver
depends on binutils, the requirement is there since ~2006.
* Tue Nov 28 2006 Christoph Wickert <cwickert at fedoraproject.org> - 0.4.6-1
- Update to 0.4.6.
[...]
- Require binutils, cpio and htmlview.
[...]
I was wondering why this change happened and of course whether we
need that dependency nowadays. I investigated a bit Debian's xarchiver
page [2] and there's no requirement on binutils, nor its parts.
Also noticed xarchiver's able to deal with 7z archives, what do you
think of adding "Requires: p7zip"?
