Hi

Why not split kate and kwrite 22.08?
kwrite don't use any plugins from kate or binary code from /usr/bin/kate

I tested a splitted package with only /usr/bin/kwrite and works very well.
This task depends upon

Because kwrite is no longer a standalone program, it's a wrapper over Kate with some disabled options.

It's not a wrapper, it's a stand alone program that shares the same codebase, but is built differently. See https://kate-editor.org/post/2022/2022-03-31-kate-ate-kwrite/

@Scimmia, FYI @arojas had earlier denied reopening this task quoting the same article. Decision is probably the same, but let's see.

From that post:

"But don’t be mistaken, KWrite is still not Kate."

And

"They neither depend on each other as package nor do they clash, just like before.
They will not mess up each other settings either, they will behave like proper twins."

I don't use either one, so I don't have a dog in this fight; it's come up a few times and the reason for closing doesn't seem to be correct, so I figured it was worth another look.

/usr/bin/kwrite *is* a wrapper. Just look at the file size.
