Hi!




kde task
- Recommends k3b
- Recommends dragonplayer
- Recommends apper
kdesudo -> unclear


sudo --preserve-env=DISPLAY,XAUTHORITY <command>
to launch a command as root, or:
SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit <file>
to edit a file.

For the meta-kde packages:

kde-full
+ Depends k3b (was recommends of the kde task)
+ Recommends krita
+ Recommends apper (was recommends of the kde task)

kde-standard
- Suggests skanlite
- Depends dragonplayer
+ Recommends skanlite
+ Recommends vlc | smplayer | dragonplayer
+ Recommends plasma-discover

kdeaccessibility
- Depends jovie (no longer needed, see qtspeech)
- Depends kaccessible (ditto)
+ Depends qtspeech5-speechd-plugin | qtspeech5-flite-plugin





Happy hacking,

Thanks for all the feedback given. I'm replying to myself to send a sort of summary of what currently seems to be the consensus. Personally, I would prefer to drop kdesudo from the kde task, as this seems to be a deprecated functionality nowadays, and, in fact, most kde/qt apps can't be used as root. The replacement could be: I'm don't know if qtspeech is going to be a dependency of the new kmouth (kf5 based). Just an observation, orca is also included in the tasksel kde package, so it would be nice to have the same default speech synthesizer backend, which I think it's speechd for orca.
