Arch Linux

Description: Kid3 Package Needs To Be Trimed Down For Requirements

Additional info: I've built this on another distro, Kid3 from source and I noticed on Arch that someone built it with an extreme amount of dependencies that are not needed.

Here are the listed packages when running pacman -S kid3;

Targets (37): id3lib-3.8.3-11 exiv2-0.22-1 strigi-0.7.6-2 attica-0.2.9-1 redland-storage-virtuoso-1:1.0.14-1 libiodbc-3.52.7-4 virtuoso-6.1.4-1 soprano-2.7.3-1
shared-desktop-ontologies-0.8.0-1 qca-2.0.3-1 libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.0-1 polkit-qt-0.99.0-1 grantlee-0.2.0-1 freeglut-2.6.0-1 jasper-1.900.1-6 ilmbase-1.0.2-1 openexr-1.7.0-1 phonon-gstreamer-4.5.1-1 libqzeitgeist-0.8.0-1 phonon-1:4.5.1-2 libplist-1.4-1 usbmuxd-1.0.7-2 libimobiledevice-1.1.1-2 upower-0.9.14-1 docbook-xml-4.5-4 docbook-xsl-1.76.1-1 kdelibs-4.7.3-1 ntrack-1:13-2 libssh-0.5.2-1 libcanberra-0.28-2 oxygen-icons-4.7.3-1 kdebase-runtime-4.7.3-1 musicbrainz-2.1.5-4 fftw-3.3-1 libofa-0.9.3-3 tunepimp-0.5.3-8 kid3-2.0-1

* package version(s)
kid3 2.0-1

Here is what the 'Requirements' say on the website; http://kid3.sourceforge.net/

Kid3 uses Qt, id3lib, libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, libFLAC++, libFLAC, TagLib, libtunepimp and runs under Linux (KDE or only Qt)

The 'INSTALL' file from the source;

Qt, optional KDE, id3lib, TagLib, libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile, libFLAC++,
libFLAC, libtunepimp, mp4v2.

Does anyone see this? You can run this with just QT, there is no need to have KDE with this, it works just fine without it and everything you see listed above is all that is required, but musicbrainz might still be needed, even though I don't see it listed and that's it.

Also I noticed that this package has been flagged out of date, when this is the latest version, so I'm not sure why this has been flagged too;

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/kid3/

Can someone please go back and remake this package with only the requirements and trim this down?

None of these packages listed below that come up when you run pacman -S kid3 are required: (This is way to much overkill that is not needed)
