Description:
Please remove the baloo dependency from gwenview.
baloo caused serious system stability issues for me several times in the past, even after explicitly disabling it (an update re-enabled it). I would like to remove baloo completely, and right now gwenview is dependent on baloo (baloo_frameworks).

Additional info:
* package version(s):
baloo 5.9.0-1
gwenview 15.04.0-1

This task depends upon

Considering that the current maintainer is the one who requested that it be enabled ( FS#43587 ), I think you're going to have to make a better case than "I want it". The ABS is always an option.

Baloo is required for picture tagging and rating, and once gwenview is compiled with support for it, it becomes a hard dependency.
If baloo gets automatically enabled after having explicitely disabled it then that's a bug that needs to be reported and fixed in baloo, but not a reason to disable features in gwenview.
