[opensuse-kde] digikam requires marble
Seriously? Why? Is upstream responsible? Installing digikam creates a one line main menu item "Education", with a submenu containing "Science", containing only KDE Marble. Trying to uninstall either marble-kde or marble wants to remove digikam. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

We leave on earth, and there's outside caves some nice digital gadget which are able to record the position and orientation you take a picture (or video). Thus it is useful to have a way to represent this localization. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

But surely there are other ways to represent this localization (e.g. Google Earth). Even so, it should be **optional**, not mandatory. It should be left up to the user to install marble (or some other suitable application) if they really want that functionality. Heck, there are even web services that can do that without requiring any additional applications other than a web browser (which almost everyone already has installed). -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

This was already correct since the beginning of February. The update is already in Leap, but is still on its way to Tumbleweed. Before this update got accepted into Factory, some new updates arrived which postponed the acceptance.

Yes it is useful, but "one and only one way and that being mandatory" is not nice, not sociable and 'does not play nice with others". Other similar tools make use of google maps, invoking it via browser, or some other user selected mapping tool. Hard wiring in a requirement to have a huge package on the user's machine when there are so many other options verges on belligerence. -- The problem with comforting illusions is that someone else ends up footing the bill for your comfort. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
