Bug 583008 – kde-apps/akregator: bundles dev-db/metakit

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Coacher 2016-05-14 10:37:30 UTC]

Hello.

Please unbundle if possible.

[Comment 1 Coacher 2016-05-14 11:17:32 UTC]

dev-db/metakit has no maintainer atm. I am willing to step up if KDE team is interested in unbundling it from akregator.

[Comment 2 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) 2016-05-17 12:17:04 UTC]

Upstream repo https://github.com/jcw/metakit/commits/master has no commits since 2015, seems dead to me compared to kdepim.git where at least some maintenance happened this year. I doubt that unbundling makes sense in this case.

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2017-06-06 10:40:05 UTC]

Should we treeclean it then?

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2017-07-26 09:57:41 UTC]

Dependency from kde-apps/kdepim-meta should be dropped, is KDE team ok finally with its removal?

[Comment 5 Andreas Sturmlechner 2017-07-26 10:01:26 UTC]

We have no dependency on dev-db/metakit at all.

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2017-07-26 11:45:20 UTC]

it has a dependency on kde-apps/akregator, or were you referring to the removal of splitted metakit package and not akregator?

[Comment 7 Andreas Sturmlechner 2017-07-26 13:27:27 UTC]

This bug as I understand $summary is clearly not about akregator removal, it is an integral part of the KDE PIM suite.

[Comment 8 Coacher 2017-07-26 13:41:47 UTC]

I think there is a misunderstanding.

kde-apps/akregator works fine, supported upstream and in Gentoo.
This bug is NOT about removal of kde-apps/akregator

dev-db/metakit upstream and downstream status is unknown to me.
This bug is NOT about removal of dev-db/metakit.

This bug is ONLY about the fact that akregator bundles metakit.
As commented above, unbundling metakit could be counterproductive.

@kde, if there's nothing left to do here, please close as you see fit.

[Comment 9 Andreas Sturmlechner 2017-07-26 17:38:06 UTC]

Yes, I think we have established it does not make sense to unbundle.
