Discouraging to me is akondai, nepomuk, and strigi
continue to grow
deeper roots into the entire KDE4 desktop. Reminds me much of how
Internet Explorer grew to a point of not being able to be removed
from
Windows. There does not seem to be any option to build KDE4 without
those three layers. Perhaps that is possible, I don't know, but I
haven't found any tutorials about the topic.
I think it is still possible to build kde4 without
akonadi/nepomuk/strigi.
the result, however, would be quite useless: no kdepim (which relies
entirely
on akonadi now), missing basic functionality all over the place
elsewhere.
so, not a viable option.
looking at kde forums/lists gives the impression, that akonadi/nepomuk
and kdepim
have reached a usable state now (from 4.9.x), with nearly all features
that were present in 3.5.10.
even address completion in email composer has been reported to work
now,
provided nepomuk running correctly and already having indexed
everything :)
I plan to give it a go during the next weeks and write a short
conclusion.
