We've discussed before about removing some nominal
cruft
from the source tree. kuickshow is another package because
those exact same sources are included in tdegraphics.
Someone could argue that some people want kuickshow but not
the entire tdegraphics package, but then anybody could make
the same argument for all of the Trinity packages.
Which is an approach I prefer :-)
I would like to see, post R14, that we split packages into
individual elements as much as possible. Initially that
means more work for packagers, and with reorganizing the
source tree, but in the long run would be easier to
maintain, as well as easier for users to customize exactly
what they want to install. Debugging would be easier too
because we don't have to build large mega-packages to
test patches against a single app.
I concur! This also will make it better for people using
trinity applications who are not using Trinity as a full
time desktop.
I created an etherpad for potential post R14 project goals:
