Details

While installing koffice the dependancies are 37M, and of those many are gnome related. This because the koffice need the wv2 (MsWord files conversion tool), the wv2 need gnome-vfs, the gnome virtual file system need core gnome libraries plus samba. It is not possible to build koffice
without the vw2 dep? (or is it needed by the kword import tool?)

---------------------------------------------------
[root@bimbo ~]# pacman --sync koffice

Targets: docbook-xml-4.1.2-2 scrollkeeper-0.3.14-1 gnome-common-2.8.0-1
orbit2-2.12.0-1 libbonobo-2.8.0-1 gconf-2.8.1-1 samba-3.0.8-1
shared-mime-info-0.15-1 gnome-mime-data-2.4.2-1 gnome-vfs-2.8.3-1
libgsf-1.9.1-1 wv2-0.2.2-1 imagemagick-6.1.3-1 koffice-1.3.4-1

Total Package Size: 37.4 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

vw2 is needed for kword import for MS-WOrd documents

have also a look here:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=7552&highlight=vw2+koffice

the thing is: the libgsf pkg is not gnome-independend (this is the trouble here) ... the solution would be to provide 2 libgsf versions (one for gnome and one without)

well i am looking into the possibility to remove the gnome support from it

Since libgsf is split up in libgsf and libgsf-gnome, I'm closing this bug. KOffice shouldn't take the whole gnome with it anymore.

I don't know if KOffice or wv2 need a recompile, but KOffice is outdated anyways at this moment and the maintainer will see that wv2 is working or not in the current state.
