I fully support Rekonq on KDE. Its a little rough around the edges, but is quite functional.
Rough is right. I just attempted installing it on a KDE3-only 11.4 system with zypper.conf having installRecommends = no, and zypper wanted to install 56 new packages (cln, clucene-core, giflib, gstreamer...kde4-greeter-plugins...branding...branding...theme...theme...soprano, soprano-backend-redland). That seems an absurd number of requires just to add one web browser to one that already has FF, SM & Konq.
When you install a program that is tightly integrated into KDE, it is going to pull in KDE dependencies. I am not sure why that is surprising. It's dependencies are basically just konqueror and kwebkitpart, everything else is pulled in by one of those. I don't think anyone is suggesting making rekonq the default for KDE 3. Not that I am suggesting rekonq be the default quite yet, I would at the very least wait until a couple releases after the extension system is in place in order to work out the kinks, and wait until after qtwebkit has reached at least 2.2 (this will be the first stand-alone release targeted at desktop, the webkit version shipped with qt 4.7 is ancient). -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
