The core reason for me is a pragmatic view on the build system, especially in a big repository: Imo it is a nice place to indicate what is possible. If you insist that every component is required - most of them will be - and leave it to binary packaging, people will do their thing anyway and possibly do it wrong, at which point it may come back at you later in bugzilla. In this case it will mostly get us rid of baloo and its dependencies, even if they are not that big, but e.g. to someone preparing systems with /home over NFS it signals that no bad things will happen for having a feature disabled that simply will not work there nor make sense. - Andreas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
