While I can't control whether Yaakov adds xinit as a dependency to tcl-tk, I personally wouldn't mind adding xinit as a prereq to gitk and git-gui, since I maintain that package. There's still that annoyance factor that just depending on xinit won't get X running, but at least it will let you download all the bits in one run of setup.exe instead of hitting the FAQ and finding out you have to rerun setup.exe. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
