I put this on the agenda for the next KDE meeting; needs to be discussed. Maybe you can build kdelibs itself with no Phonon present, but Phonon is part of KDE API, therefor it cannot be dropped entirely. However providing qt-phonon as a substitution is some option, especially now when media-sound/phonon doesn't bundle plugins anymore. As long as KDE defaults to media-sound/phonon if the user doesn't have x11-libs/qt-phonon installed, it's fine by me. Let's not get back to the "old mess" with media-libs/phonon and x11-libs/qt-phonon blocking each other when a user installs KDE, though. FYI, the qt-phonon module will be dropped for Qt 5.0, officially replaced by QtMultimedia. Phonon will be maintained exclusively by KDE. (In reply to comment #4) > FYI, the qt-phonon module will be dropped for Qt 5.0, officially replaced by > QtMultimedia. Phonon will be maintained exclusively by KDE. Right. After some discussion in the kde team meeting- we won't support using qt-phonon as replacement for phonon, for two reasons: 1) it's generating complications 2) kde usptream says "while it might work it is stupid because you lose a lot of functionality" 3) qt-phonon is going away *** Bug 410943 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
