[opensuse-kde] Removing Zeitgeist support from our Phonon build
Hi all I'd like to remove Zeitgeist support from our Phonon build, because it makes a very long dependency chain that is fragile to build and delays Factory builds. In my opinion this should be done in a separate package as a Phonon plugin, not in the core, and it is of questionable utility to most users anyway. I see Todd, Raymond and Christophe worked on packaging it. Does anyone have very strong objections to removing it?

Go for it! As you may know there is a discussion about zeit-whatever in help at the moment.

Hi Will, Go for it. I did some work on it in the past as that it was once a requirement for phonon to build (afaicr), but that was a long time ago :-) Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Will, Fedora has some patches to reduce linking that are already upstream, see: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libqzeitgeist.git;a=tree (declarative.patch and reduced_linking.patch) I'm not sure if this is enough though...
