Should package builders have the option to disable many of these
resources? Yes, they should have the option. Possibly Trinity can be
delivered in two flavors. One is with all hooks enabled. The other with
most disabled. Users of older hardware and those who don't need bling can
download the latter set of packages. Just a thought.
Great idea! Shouldn't be too difficult either; two separate repositories
built from the same source, but with different configure options, should
do the trick.
I hope I haven't overstayed my welcome!
Not at all! The Trinity project should be learning from KDE4's mistakes,
not repeating them. ;-)
In fact, when I go into kdepim to fix your build failure, I will add flags
to disable each resource independently. Then I'll leave it up to you to
disable any resources that Slackware users won't be interested in.
