remove akonadi

Advised to use :

pacman -Rs akonadi

This doesn't remove akonadi due to depends in kde4pimlibs.

What is necessary to remove akonadi?

Re: remove akonadi

Akonadi is a hard dependency for kdepimlibs. From the kdepimlibs CmakeLists.txt:

find_package(Akonadi REQUIRED)

The following require kdepimlibs:
kdenetwork
kdepim
kdeplasma-addons
kdesdk
kdewebdev

I compile KDE4 myself, but I haven't tried removing kdepimlibs. AFAIK if you don't use anything from the above packages I don't see why you couldn't skip building kdepimlibs altogether. I don't think it would break KDE4. Of course, this means you'll have to compile the components of KDE4 yourself (not necessarily qt or kdelibs though, as you could use the Arch packages).

Re: remove akonadi

dyscoria;
Basically, akonadi isn't complete in the install of kde4.  It makes a search for missing components at initial desktop and takes its time doing it.

Thanks for the info.
