digikam as slim version

I had the problem that I don't run KDE on my desktop, but I want use digikam as my photomanagement software. Since the update to 0.10.0 in the [extra] repository digikam depends on kdegraphics, kdepimlibs and kdebase-runtime. If you don't run KDE that's pretty much. So, I have created an alternativate package called digikam-slim. It only depends on the library which are necessary, these are kdelibs, libkdcraw, libkexiv2 and libkipi. Further I have created a second package called kipi-plugins-slim, which also depends only on the libraries above. So you can now use digikam without using all the stuff which comes with kdegraphics, kdebase-runtime and kdepimlibs on your non-KDE desktop.

You can found those packages on the AUR:
libkipi (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2143)
libkexiv2 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24798)
libkdcraw (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24799)
digikam-slim (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24993)
kipi-plugins-slim (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24992)

Maybe you have to change the KDE theme or your Qt theme to fit your needs. I have set my KDE and Qt theme to GTK+.

Cheers,
Daniel

Yay! You rock!

You need to rename the libkipi package in AUR to something else (-slim). [extra] already has a libkipi; you can't upload a package with the same name as a repo package.

The libkipi package will be removed shortly from the official repository. It isn't needed anymore from any package of the [extra] repository, so it can be stay in AUR with this name.

Ahh, ok. I hadn't noticed that. Nice work, I'll be using this package now!

I love this concept! Only I don't use digikam...for me it's gwenview. Do you think we could do the same 'slim' thing for Gwenview? Right now I've got the kdemod repos *just* for this app. It would be nice if I didn't have to go that route.

I know...I can do it myself, but if you're maintaining the rest of the suite, it only makes sense...keeping less hands out of the kitchen, right?
