Dne st 26. února 2014 Michele Calgaro napsal(a):
My concern is that tqca-tls may compile but not actually *work* in the absence of tqca. Plugins can be really weird in how they link stuff together. Also, kopete seems to have a direct tqca dependency for some protocols (jabber and groupwise, judging from what Darrell found). We need to test not just the compiling, but the functionality of these packages before we can justify dropping tqca.
I see your point. If tqca-tls requires tqca for working correctly, then we will need to make it dependent on tqca for installation. Any way we could make a test for it? (I am no tqca expert at all :( )

If I understand correctly, tqca is as a third-party "embedded" into Kopete. Hence on the tqca seemingly none depend and depends only on the tqca-tls, which is built as a library.
It therefore seems a good reason to not remove tqca. And in the future decide if tqca also build as a library. I think that for now we should postpone this question.
