| | Well, for some applications they need 3rd party libraries. And if those
| | 3rd party libraries are in kdesupport, you can say that it depends on
| | kdesupport (given you want the application that depends on the lib).
| |
| | The taglib stuff already showed the problems that will arise if we allow
| | libraries in the Extra Gear modules: amarok made keg-1 depend on keg-2
| | and kdemultimedia, juk made kdemultimedia depend on keg-2, and AFAIK
| | kmplayer from keg-2 has a runtime dependency on kdemultimedia for arts
| | control. Yay.
| |
| | I do not oppose a keg-libs module, but I don't see the need for it either
| | since we already have kdesupport.
| |
| | So where exactly is the problem with putting libkipi in kdesupport?
|
| I don't know if there are any problems with that except that I have no idea
| about how that works ;-)
|
| I'll look into that.
| Thanks
Aren't you talking about kdeaddons?
Aren't kdesupport just the place where we previously had libraries the rest of 
kde would rely on, and which was hosted elsewhere already?
