Hello!
webbrowser-app-autopilot depends on ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot which
provides reusable emulators(helpers) to easily interact with
different
components of the ubuntu-ui-toolkit while writing autopilot tests.
The
dependencies come from there. Many other apps depend
on ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot as well.
That’s correct. And I should add that most applications’ autopilot tests
should
use the standard emulators provided by the SDK, and thus their -autopilot
package should depend on ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot.
Some packaging expert will need to look at
ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot and
see if we can do some packaging changes there to reduce the deps.
Note that ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot depends on dpkg-dev, which pulls
in a lot
of build dependencies, such as make and perl. This is because the
emulators rely
on dpkg-architecture to locate qmlscene.
Maybe there’s a simpler way to achieve this, and we could get rid of the
dependency on dpkg-dev?
If dpkg-architecture is the only thing pulling in dpkg-dev, just use this
instead:
dpkg --print-architecture
