[SOLVED] KDE now depending on mono (via libgpod)?

[uncleV]

Texstar - I cannot believe you have done this!      Just for 2 anti-mono freaks? 

Now - this is what makes PCLinuxOS the one and only.   

Another round for my Texan friend over here ... and make it snappy!

The simile face is just a back door for you.

longtom, your smile is not a smile!

  Just kidding, men, don't bite me...

If you want to flamebait me about mono you picked the wrong one.  And I write what I like here in the framework of the forum rules.  If you really feel offended by my remark you are the one with the problem. 

Luckily I know that the general tone of the forum and the way the rest of us commute with each other will luckily be not affected by some fanatics of the one or other viewpoint, be it the politically correct one or not.

And another round for us over here .... 

Previously you used the word Freak. Now you use Fanatics. Seriously, you are flamebaiting, not anyone else. I don't know you and I have no wish what-so-ever to discuss with you in this thread as long as that is the level you want to discuss at.

I reported an issue with a software package/update, now move along and throw your insults and flamebaits in other parts of this forum or on other forums.

Thank you.

words like "freaks", "fanatics" or related do nothing but raise unnecessary conversations that usually dont end well and we are better off not using them at all even when surrounding them with nice smiley faces.

This thread need to come to a close since the primary problem that lead to the opening of the thread is solved.

hi nindnarne, your level of posts suggest you are new here. Welcome to our little community, nice of you to find this problem and report it. More contributions like this from you will greatly advance what we are all here to do.

Looking forward to seeing you around

I am a freak and fanatic and as often as not say things which should be said more diplomatically.

Just read this thread.

Thanks Texstar, mono split out, top man, appreciated.

I have read the arguments about mono. I prefer to have <> software kept separate but available if people choose to use it.
My choice is to avoid mono but I do have some <> items installed, my hypocritical choice.

<> = closed, proprietary, binary blobs, dodgy, dubious, software with bad motives, software trying to take control, companies wanting to do bad things....

now im trying to understand is this mono is this what maybe causing the digikam issues among others thats seems to be plaguing other apps.  maybe  i miss wording it.

Are the proprietary software? (microblows) is the root of the issue in this thread

[nindnarne]

Could be but I am no software expert. All I can say is that Digikam vanilla does not depend on Mono.

Fired up digikam and closed it. Checked task manager, and surey, there it is; Digikam running at 29.3mbs.....

So from the looks of it, it is not Mono related though once again I am just a layman in this.

What has happened here is to take my comment, which was about nothing but the appreciation for Texstar and his attention for even the smallest detail, pull it out of context and try to project the attention onto something else, so the original subject of the post (namely focusing on the excellence of Texstar) will be forgotten about and the focus will be about a different subject which suits the poster better.
This is not a new way of doing this no is it a very original one.  It is a pity this has happened, for the sake of what my post's intention was about.

However, should anybody have been offended by whatever I have written in this thread I humbly ask for forgiveness.

I for one, longtom, never misunderstood the intent of your original post. I think it is pitiful how your original post praising Texstar and his efforts to appease and please this community has been derailed into the discussion it has become.

I certainly took no offense to your original post. Personally, I find the derailing of the discussion offensive, and it isn't the "PCLinuxOS way."

For what it's worth, longtom, I've "known" you on this forum for quite a while, so I didn't take any offense at your post.

(I might be an "anti-mono freak", but that's beside the point. )

As for the actual issue, it was, as I suspected, an inadvertent adding of mono dependency to the libgpod rpm, which is a dependency for digikam and amarok (among others).  Once this mistake was realized, it was removed, and life goes on.

No dude your still airight. Look I too think Tex  is a great guy and I thought the Op was pointing out something that will help the community as a whole.

This Mono is the heart of the issue and not your comment/praise.  Anyways i off to another post have fun
