Bug 920914 – kde-frameworks/purpose +kaccounts indirectly pulls in kde-plasma/kwin via kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools:5 (until SLOT 6 is unmasked) and its kde-plasma/libkworkspace:5 dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description GoGoOtaku 2023-12-29 05:55:28 UTC]

kde-frameworks/purpose defaults the "kaccounts" use flag to active (+kaccounts). This then causes kde-plasma (to be specific kde-apps/kaccounts-integration which causes a chain of dependencies that will end up pulling kde-plasma/kwin in) to be pulled in as dependency.

The issue is that the kde-framework is not just for plasma. Having kaccounts be active at default causes by default applications like kde-apps/kdenlive (video editor) to pull in kde-plasma for no reason.

Yes it is possible to just manually disable the kaccounts useflag but in my opinion kde-framework packages should not default to pulling in kde-plasma. This is especially true if kde-apps/kdenlive is the only application actually depending on kde-framework/purpose after plasma was pulled in.

Reproducible: Always




Reverse dependency from kwin to kdenlive

>=kde-plasma/kwin-5.27.10:5
>=kde-plasma/libkworkspace-5.27.10:5
kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools:5
kaccounts ? >=kde-apps/kaccounts-integration-19.04.3:5
>=kde-frameworks/purpose-5.106.0:5
kde-apps/kdenlive-23.08.3

One thing to note: KWin is not Plasma, so your $summary was not entirely correct.

Also, it seems to me this problem would already be solved by kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools-5.91.0 (currently masked Plasma 6 beta 2 version).

[Comment 2 GoGoOtaku 2023-12-31 18:59:57 UTC]

Just fyi why I wrote plasma:
I don't know much about plasma and had to look up the kde-plasma packages it pulled in.
KDE calls KWin the window manager which to me sounded like the core application of plasma. And since there are also some packages that all seem to be just libraries to support KWin.

In hindsight writing plasma probably sounded like it pulls in the entire desktop environment. I don't use a DE so I think I have a WM centric view of these things. Sorry about that.

Anyway thumps up for the quick response.
