You *can* do that already. You don't need to install Plasma to run ktorrent.
And they're developed independently. In particular, ktorrent is part of the "extragear" group of applications, meaning that they have their own release schedule and their own pace of development. They have no ties with either Frameworks, Plasma, or Applications.
I've just tried for fun to install ktorrent and gave up after 30 minutes. I don't think there is a way to install it without many other deps from the kde project. There is no documentation about what dependencies are needed. I can only run cmake again and again, downloading and installing more and more deps from KDE and hoping that finally it would not complain anymore. I'd say it does not look like ktorrent is made for users who simply wants to install a torrent client quickly. Maybe people who are familiar with the KDE tree like you may manage this faster than me, for me it's too painful.
Other examples include yakuake, konversation, labplot...
Haven't checked them but I know also two good examples qcachegrind and troijta which have no kde but only Qt deps. Still the fact that they are hosted on kde.org makes them suspect to me (the "trust" thing). I'm using qcachegrind (no alternative) but I would not use troijta, since it was moved to KDE in 2012. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
