pkg kde talk - Dec 2004 - kopete and xmms

(to Christopher, mainly)

  actually, the kopete dependency on xmms can''t be dropped as easily as
  in amarok, since in that case the "Now listening" plugin fails to
work
  with other players (since libxmms is not present, and thus, the .so
  object can''t be loaded).

  so, unless I''m overlooking something, we''ll have to wait for
this:

    <Thucydides> dato: post-Sarge, I''m tempted to try splitting
out xmms-lib.

  and, even then (see #276586 for an example):

    <Thucydides> xmms-lib would still pull in libgtk, so hyper-anal KDE
                 purists would still be upset :)

  unless one splits the "Now listening" plugin into a separate
  package... (btw, can we close 271880?)

So not having XMMS installed breaks the plug-in for all other players as=20
well. Hmmm, that''s a problem.

At least kopete doesn''t depend on noatun/amarok/kscd/juk. Maybe it
should=20
Suggest them, though.

Seems like a pain, but it might be worth doing. However, why not wait=20
until post-Sarge, to avoid NEW processing just before the release?

=46ine with me. A package for each plug-in is overkill.
