Hey, ppl are picking the rebranding spirit up ;-)
Love this brainstorm idea - why not use digikam instead of Fspot on Ubuntu?
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22708/
Unfortunately digkam brings in over 200 mb of dependecies - that's a bit much, I can see that. So we should simply strive to make sure most if not all these dependencies become part of a standard linux desktop installation. Making KDE applications work better in non-KDE-plasma-desktop environments is an important step in that regard...
On a different topic, I'm in Oslo still, the KOffice meeting is of course over and I've caught up on sleep a bit. I still have about 4 hours to spend in this city and I'm unsure on how... Currently I'm working on some promo/marketing things but I guess it's healthy to take some time off - tomorrow will be day job until friday so if I don't relax a bit now I've have skipped on a weekend - again. Last time didn't agree with me (was tired all week) so I shouldn't do that.
Alternatively you can work on making some of our dependencies more modular. KDElibs, for instance, shouldn't be needed in it's entirety just to run a KDE application on GNOME.
ReplyDeleteGood ideas on your end too though :)
I really wonder how they calculate the 200MB.
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked the application specific dependencies of digicam, but if I sum up the value for KDE's base packages, I get to a bit above 40

This is on Debian, not sure how different Ubuntu's packages are.
FWIW :

Looks like they are stripped in kubuntu or something.
