If you want any distributor to remove that last dependency, they have to provide to complete set of rpms, one with, the other without pulsaudio. That's impossible.
But why? Why do the devs feel the need to force stuff on us? I'm constantly removing that crappy Bonjour service on WinDoZe machines to free up resources, and I have yet to see any advantage to something like avahi. Same with pulse audio.
Or you have to convince all the devs for all packages involved to build a plugin system for all their things (meaning all kde).
That would be nice
As that is not possible, just remove most of pulseaudio, while leaving the linked-to library. That small one can not be removed. But don't worry, that library alone does not provide pulseaudio, it is efectively removed for allp practical purposes.
True. The KDE devs are too busy re-inventing the wheel and deciding how I should use MY desktop. They've focused on eye candy and not stability and usability. I've yet to see any compelling reason to use KDE4. KDE3 is a solid, reliable desktop. When/IF KDE4 becomes the same, I would be willing to use it. While I'm all for being able to make use of new features and trying to get people to use KDE, it should not be done at the expense of those of us who have been supporting it for 10 years now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
