Bug ID: 478182
Summary: Stop forcing dependency on KF5Purpose
Classification: Applications
Product: kdenlive
Version: 23.08.3
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Installation
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: moog...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When trying to update my system, I was denied it due to rejecting Wayland. I do
not use KDE, I use a different DE that doesn't have Wayland support yet.
I tried to edit the ebuild for 23.08.3, but it turns out that depending on
KF5Purpose is now mandatory, whether the user wants kdenlive with share support
or not. In fact - share support is force enabled. I don't even use share -
there is no benefit for me to have this forced upon me.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use an Xorg-only DE.
2. Install kdenlive 23.08.03.
OBSERVED RESULT
The update will not happen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should just install without share support.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo Linux, LXQt
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: irrelevant
KDE Frameworks Version: irrelevant
Qt Version: irrelevant
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I feel pretty terrible that my choice in video editing software is suddenly
trying to influence my choice in desktop environments, by proxy of forcing
dependency on a particular display server. Yeah yeah I know, iT's A pRoToCoL, I
heard it a million times.
