Hi,
The QtWebkit package depends on GStreamer *and* on Phonon. I think GStreamer dependency should be removed because Phonon provides its own backends (such as phonon-xine, phonon-gstreamer, phonon-mplayer, etc.). On the IRC channel (#archlinux), someone told me that « GStreamer was the only sane way to read videos ». If that's the reason of that dependency, I think it would be great to respect users' choice. Also, phonon-gstreamer is the default choice for phonon-backend so users who don’t know, would use it. (Sorry for bad english, I'm french) |
This task depends upon

ChangeLog: [Qt] Remove Phonon MediaPlayer from the tree.
Besides the changelog and some testsuite stuff, I don't see any reference to phonon at all. IMHO Phonon should get dropped from depends instead.
