Sure, but 1. this is not system-wide (may be there are system-wide settings somewhere, I'm not really interested in) 2. this is annoing to turn it off for every file type 3. why user need to have dragonplayer installed if he use another player -- Best regards, Alexander GQ Gerasiov Contacts: e-mail:g...@cs.msu.su Jabber: g...@jabber.ru Homepage: http://gq.net.ru ICQ: 7272757 PGP fingerprint: 04B5 9D90 DF7C C2AB CD49 BAEA CA87 E9E8 2AAC 33F1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#588080: kde-standard should not depend on dragonplayer

Which functionality would be broken in kde-base if there will be no mediaplayer? If there will be another mediaplayer (mplayer, totem)? kde-standard is a metapackage which pulls a standard set of packages which most KDE users would find useful (in our opinion). We think that a media player is mandatory nowadays. If you hate particular software, remove kde- standard (which is just a metapackage) and you'll be able to get rid of the dragonplayer. We do not aim nor can adhere to everybody's personal wishes. You can also choose from kde-minimal alike kde-plasma-desktop and kde-plasma- netbook but they are really minimal. In case if kde-base really need mediaplayer: Should is depend on it or just recommend? Is it possible to use a dependency with alternatives? People have Recommends disabled so a media player is Depends. In fact, I could agree with sane alternative Depends. The problem is that there is no other official KDE SC media player. -- Modestas Vainius modes...@vainius.eu signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
