I find kdemultimedia requirement for amarok very inconvenient, mainly because it contains 'junk' I don't really need (notaun, kscd, kaboodle, etc.). What is more, arts plugin was removed from the player in beta2 as being obsolete, so is there a reason to keep this dependency? Other option would be to split kdemultimedia into applications and libs, so that installing it won't be that 'painful'. Regards, JS
I am currently rebuilding amarok for beta2 in extras, and since the arts engine is gone it seems reasonable to remove the hardcoded dependecy on kdemultimedia. Rex, does this seem right to you ?
Yep, IMO, the hard-coded dependancy probably shouldn't ever have been there. (-:
While you're at it, you can change desktop-file-install --vendor="fedora" --delete-original to desktop-file-install --vendor="" per recent discussions on the FE mailing list regarding vendor. It only need be set it not already done so (it is effectively already "kde" since it's using applications/kde in this case).
Done, thanks to both of you.
