This is blocking cleanup of kde-apps/kompare:5 and kde-apps/libkomparediff2:5 right now, which both conflict with stable Kdevelop:6 and kde-apps/kompare:6. I cannot find in the code where it actually makes use of it. On the contrary, I can find > src/core/etcupdate.cpp: if (QStringLiteral("kdiff3") == KurooConfig::etcUpdateTool()) { and in ChangeLog: > Older Versions: > 20-10-06 > Only kdiff3 is supported as merge tool. (that's 2006, presumably) but kdiff3 is not listed in RDEPEND.

Goodness, that changelog is very old. Anyways, there was an attempt to use kompare instead of kdiff3 on the assumption that the dependencies would be fewer, but maybe that branch got lost or something. And on further thought it seems like kdiff3 will be less troublesome in cases like this since it's outside of the main KDE bundle release system. It could also maybe be just an elog since the functionality to merge protected config files doesn't work unless kuroo is run as root. There will be a new version coming soon™ for the KF6 port which will probly replace the dependency with an elog.

In that case it should use kauth "to let applications perform actions as a privileged user" similar to, e.g., partitionmanager.
