Bug#377278: kde-style-polyester: kde-style and kwin-style shipped together

[Sune Vuorela]

severity 377278 wishlist
thanks mate


 I wanted to check out kde-style-polyester and found that it depended
 on kwin. Turns out that the kwin theme is also shipped with this
 package. kwin themes are usually packaged separately as kwin-style-*
 to keep the kwin dependency separate 

Currently, packages called kde-style-foo contains a widget style and it can 
contain a window decoration as well, if the source package comes with both. 
(Like polyester does)

kwin-styles are only packaged seperately if they come in a separate source 
package. (Like powder)

kwin-styles and kde-styles both can contain colorschemes.

I do not currently plan to change this in the polyester package.

 I am flagging the severity as normal and not wishlist because this
 seems to be a deviation from the usual packaging practice.

It is not a deviation, so downgrading.

Bug#377278: kde-style-polyester: kde-style and kwin-style shipped together

[R.Ramkumar]

Package: kde-style-polyester
Severity: normal

Hi!

I wanted to check out kde-style-polyester and found that it depended
on kwin. Turns out that the kwin theme is also shipped with this
package. kwin themes are usually packaged separately as kwin-style-*
to keep the kwin dependency separate (Many, like me, don't use KDE
desktop or window manager but need these styles because they run KDE
apps sometimes). It would be great if you could separate the
packages.

I am flagging the severity as normal and not wishlist because this
seems to be a deviation from the usual packaging practice.

Regards,
Ramkumar.
