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.
