@Cogumelo: Sorry, this PKGBUILD follows the original as closely as possible (keeping the changes to a minimum) to ease maintanance. I'm not willing to make this change (which is bigger than just adding -G Ninja to the cmake call, because that fails).

If it's any consolation, I did a local build with ninja and the speed difference was insignificantly small. Is the build very slow for you? Are you using parallel jobs?

build with -G Ninja pls?

this package is not meant as some sort of minimal build per se.

@bepaald: It's suffix is -no-purpose, so I'm gonna respect that.

most people will have to have phonon-qt installed anyway as many other packages (including plasma-desktop) depend on it.

I do wonder then why a KDE plasma user would want to avoid the rest of the dependencies of okular then? Do the plasma-desktop and okular really have those dependencies not in common?

@bionade24 Sorry, I don't think I'll be doing that. This package is not meant as some sort of minimal build per se. Besides, most people will have to have phonon-qt installed anyway as many other packages (including plasma-desktop) depend on it. I suggest you simply edit the PKGBUILD for your own needs. Thanks.

Could this pkg may be built with -DFORCE_NOT_REQUIRED_DEPENDENCIES="KF6Purpose;Phonon4Qt6" as flag? I never ever encountered a PDF with audio or video in my life. And if anyone ever would, they still could use their browser.

Maybe send him a friendly email at spacingcat3@outlook.com or hit him up on Insta to see what the deal is ------------- :) Should sort out the issue. Also has a Gmail but won't share it because it's in a leak ... xD Edit: I took out the insta but I would consider translating to Polish if you were to reach out.

Sorry to hear that. I can't imagine having so little to do that I would waste time trying to delete someone's work wrongfully. How embarrassing... The requester should be IP banned.

I have no problem maintaining this, honestly it's barely any effort at all. If you look to the top-right of this page under 'Package Actions', you can see 'Submit Request' and '1 pending request'. This was a deletion request. This person has made many such requests and many were auto-approved it seems, so this one might also. The request can also be seen here: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-requests@lists.archlinux.org/thread/N3T6OYNHG4FBNRXEJGZL6PE6VB2QEUTQ/

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been approved yet, that might be good news, but it's also not been declined...

"Someone has requested this package to be deleted"? Can you elaborate? This is my favorite version of Okular, which I'm sure is FOSS. If it's a will to no longer maintain the project, I will take the reigns if this drops off because it is essential to my daily work.

bepaald commented on 2023-03-03 08:33 (UTC)

Just a heads-up: someone has requested this package to be deleted. So any update could be the last one. Get the PKGBUILD if you want to keep it locally.
