Hello,
This wish probably won't be accepted but I'd like to present reasons for
moving kppp from kdenetwork to kdebase:
1.
In many kde-packages are applications which are net-dependent:
kdeaddons:
atlantikdesigner - atlantik is net based game
kaddressbook-plugins - kaddressbook is very tightly connected with net
kontact -the same
kdeadmin:
kwuftpd - OK, maybe this not. If you are admin of ftp site you use something
better than ppp
kdeedu:
kstars - many, many links to search things on the net
kdegames:
atlantik - web based game
kdegraphics:
kfax - sending faxes needs connection to the net
kdemultimedia:
kscd - looks in net for fddb base
kdepim:
kmail, knode, kaddressbook
kdesdk:
today is hard to imagine working on project without connection to net
the same for kdevelop and quanta
kdeutils:
kssh
And of course Konqueror itself.
Not only I see this problem. In Mdk9.1 kppp was moved to separate package
kdenetwork-kppp because in many cases kppp don't match with other programs
from kdenetwork which need broadband or at least *DSL connection to the
net.
Perhaps this is too late to make this change for 3.2 but IMO this thing to
think about for 4.0 (or 3.3).
