include avoid

#   packagemanager stack wayland --run
#
# The kernel check, the session (dbus, elogind), the audio floor, the
# graphics stack (llvm, glvnd, mesa), wayland itself, GTK4 with libsoup3,
# and -- after git -- seatd and wlroots.  Nothing here is sway's: another
# wlroots compositor would stand on exactly this.  sway.stack includes it,
# so the full desktop is still one command.
#
# WHY IT WAS SPLIT OUT (1.14.320).  sway.stack had grown to 477 lines and
# answered four questions at once: the base, the compositor, a set of
# applications, and one person's own programs.  Rebuilding a viewer meant
# reading past mesa's options to find it.

# Never built by this stack, however they are reached.  harfbuzz RECOMMENDS
# texlive and LibreOffice; a sway desktop with a webkit browser wants
# neither, and texlive alone is hours of build time and a /opt tree.
# NOT BUILT BY THIS STACK.  The book's recommendations are followed --
# a recommendation the build actually needs (curl for cmake, icu for
# libxml2) must not be dropped by a blanket rule.  These are the branches
# this desktop does not want, named one at a time, and everything they alone
# pull in goes with them.
# the KDE leaves okular pulls in: named individually, because a package can
# have several parents and pruning by one of them drops shared dependencies
# (graphite2 was lost that way)

# The desktop-portal tail.  The book makes xdg-desktop-portal REQUIRE all
# four backends -- gtk, wlr, gnome AND lxqt -- so one recommendation from
# gtk4 drags in the whole of xfce and lxqt, gnome-desktop and libfm-qt.
# Sway needs none of it to run; screen sharing wants xdg-desktop-portal-wlr,
# which can be built on its own later:
#     packagemanager install xdg-desktop-portal-wlr --run

# Not this desktop either: a systemd package on a SysV system, phone modem
# stacks, a mail/ssh server, spell-checking dictionaries.
# openssh is AVOIDED here and INSTALLED by network.stack, where it belongs:
# it is networking, not desktop.  Letting a dependency plan pull it in
# mid-sway would put its system-account question in the middle of a graphics
# build.

# Tails of things already avoided.  Each of these is in the plan ONLY to
# serve a package this stack does not build, and the tools cannot yet work
# that out for themselves (see 1.12.83: pruning by the single parent that
# `blfs order` reports dropped shared dependencies, and broke harfbuzz).
# Checked one by one against the plan's parent column:
# Checked against EVERY parent, not just the one the plan prints: these have
# no parent left in the plan at all.
# NOT avoided, though the plan labels them with an avoided parent: the label
# shows only the FIRST parent.  gtk3 is really wanted by adwaita-icon-theme,
# ffmpeg by mpv, polkit by colord... and pulseaudio by pipewire/sdl3/gst.
# (rust and llvm STAY: glycin genuinely requires rust, and llvm is a stack
#  entry in its own right for mesa.)

# 1b. THE AUDIO FLOOR, BEFORE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS FOR IT.
#
# alsa-lib used to sit at entry 7, after mpv -- and ffmpeg is built inside
# mesa's plan (entry 2) and SDL3 inside gstreamer's, both of which autodetect
# ALSA.  They configured cleanly, installed cleanly, and had no ALSA support,
# because the library did not exist yet.  Nothing failed, so nothing said so.
#
# This is the same rule the harfbuzz comment below states for libass: what an
# earlier entry installed is simply there.  An optional dependency of
# something built inside a plan can only be placed by entry order.
book   alsa-lib

# ffmpeg and SDL3 are named here, before mesa and gstreamer, so they are
# built in THIS order rather than wherever a dependency plan reaches them --
# and expect= proves the feature afterwards instead of trusting the order.
book   ffmpeg expect="ffmpeg -hide_banner -devices 2>/dev/null | grep -qw alsa"

# 2. graphics -- llvm feeds mesa; mesa options come from the machine
#    (machine.conf wiring pending; book defaults until then)
# cmake (pulled in by llvm and others) has NO required dependencies and four
# recommended ones -- and its own build turns on the system libraries, so a
# missing curl is a hard failure:
#     CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_CURL is ON but a curl is not found!
# This is the trade-off, and the answer is the same one: name
# what the build actually needs.

# glslang provides glslangValidator, which mesa needs ONLY because
# machine.conf turns on the Vulkan drivers -- the book does not list it as a

# that creates a dependency has to name it here.

# The font stack goes BEFORE mesa.
#
# libass (built inside mesa's plan, via ffmpeg) hard-requires harfbuzz in its

# order can place it.  What CAN place it is entry order: anything an earlier
# entry installed is simply there.

# LIBGLVND, BEFORE MESA -- because machine.conf builds Mesa with
# glvnd=enabled, and Mesa's configure needs it there.
#
# glvnd is the GL dispatcher: libGL, libEGL and libGLES are its, and
# Mesa installs only its vendor libraries behind it (libGLX_mesa,
# libEGL_mesa + 50_mesa.json).  It is what provides pkg-config `opengl`,
# and what lets another GL driver (NVIDIA's) sit beside Mesa.
#
# NOT a BLFS page -- the 13.1 book only links to GLFS for it.  The canonical
# repo is gitlab.freedesktop.org/glvnd/libglvnd; the NVIDIA GitHub copy is
# the one reachable from where this was written.  CHECKED there: newest tag
# v1.7.0, and the option names (all left at their defaults).
#
# SWITCHING AN EXISTING MACHINE: libglvnd and mesa must be done in ONE go.
# Between the two, libGL.so.1 is glvnd's with no vendor behind it and every
# GL program fails:
#     packagemanager stack wayland --only libglvnd,mesa --run
# Programs already built keep working: the sonames (libGL.so.1, libEGL.so.1,
# libGLESv2.so.2) do not change, only who provides them.

# TeX is NOT built by this stack.
#
# Putting `book texlive` last only moved the ENTRY: texlive is harfbuzz's
# recommendation, so it was still pulled into an early entry's plan and
# failed there (its configure wants freetype-config, which FreeType removed
# years ago -- an upstream problem, not this desktop's).  Nothing here needs
# TeX: the book's `make ... pdf ps` manual builds are commented out (1.12.87)
# and asymptote/biber are avoided.
#
# To build it later, on its own:  packagemanager install texlive --run
