Dear Adrien, Thanks for the great work! > But the optional packages for kexi raise some objections here : it seems too > splitted for us, because calligra-libs alrealy depends on libmarble4-kde4 > and libqt4-webkit and it doesn't bring a significant disk space saving for > kexi. > 1. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong but marble shouldn't be hard dependency of the calligra-libs. It sounded like it can but this is because the said current incompletness of README.PACKAGES: Marble is used in one more place: maps flake plugin for docments in plugins/marblemapshape/. Not used by Kexi but can be used by all calligra apps. I think if there is time to do this fix, it's before 2.4 final: could you please prepare separate package for marble flake shape? Files: marblemapshape.so marblemapshape.desktop 1.1. kexi-map-form-widget (kformdesigner_mapbrowser.*) cannot be in calligra-libs otherwise calligra-libs would depend on kexi. I still recommend to have separate package as stated in README to make kexi not hard-dependent on marble. > So we would like to include kexi-web-*-widget and calligra-reports-web-* > directly in calligra-libs. 2. libqt4-webkit is not used globally in calligra-libs but only in one plugin: - koreport_webplugin.so - I recommend to have separate package calligra-reports-web-element as stated in README 2.1. contents of kexi-web-form-widget (kformdesigner_webbrowser.*) cannot be in calligra-libs otherwise calligra-libs would depend on kexi. I still recommend to have separate package as stated in README to make kexi not hard-dependent on libqt4-webkit. 2.2. webkit is used in braindump/ app as plugin but for some reasone it can be kept as part of braindump I think. I see no other uses of webkit, so propose to go with what I recommend above in '2.' Summing up, regarding plugins: - maps have three plugins for separate packaging: for kexi forms, for reporting, for flake - web has two plugins for separate packaging: for kexi forms, for reporting (please note that you won't find koreport_webplugin.* files in 2.4 beta 1, expect to have it for beta 2 on Sep 30). Please ask if I missed something. All the above makes Calligra, its libs and apps packages, more light and modular -- Calligra stands out in the crowd because of that. As more and more 3rd party dependencies will arrive, IMHO it's good to have habit of splitting earlier than later. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek Kexi & Calligra (kexi-project.org, identi.ca/kexi, calligra-suite.org) KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (windows.kde.org) _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
