Re: Do not enforce copy and paste restrictions in Okular
This should be at least configurable with a for-user non-changeable configuration. It's perfectly okay for homeowners to disable drm-behaviour, but there might be requirements in an enterprise context where that behaviour is needed. Am 12.11.2017 um 05:02 schrieb Jason A.

Well, regrettably not all kde settings were administrator-enforceable in the past, but i will look at this :) But i agree with jason, default should be off.
Re: Do not enforce copy and paste restrictions in Okular
Just saw the option, a bit late. This should default to off. In Gentoo I may very well force our package to always be off.

Just read the countless discussions we've had on this topic over the years, the current situation allows for almost infinite configuration at all the imaginable levels so everyone feels confortable. I'm not in any interest to discuss this further since you clearly didn't bother investigating this at all. Cheers, Albert > > Thanks, > Jason
Krazy source code
Hi, where do I find the krazy source code? It doesn't seem to be listed under https://cgit.kde.org/ Google tells me there is https://github.com/Krazy-collection/krazy but I'm not sure if that is a mirror or a fork. Cheers, Elvis
