I have not read all your mail. Because I was reading your mail some time before.
I noticed your cool word akonadification.
And the method that you are describing is clear. I saw it first a little bit
before in Opennet.ru forum.
Some man mentioned about kde,libs,pim and USE.
And I think that he also read your description before.
Thanks. It is very good explanation. Thanks again. God bless you.
But for me to install Gentoo is about 8 hours of work because I'm every time
rereading
Handbook to make the installation in right as-developers-said way.
Gentoo is nice. And I'm Gentoo-ish in mind.
But this is my 'transit' computer-box for now and I installed other
not source-based distribution. But in console way. Of cource. :)
Probably it is my fate - if I'm a linux user and like KDE and KDE is crazy now
for compiled distributions, the only way is to use the best and the most
professional distribution Gentoo.
But all the other users will be waisting their time to get rid of semantic.
Now I will go to read your mail. I haven't read it first because I really wanted
to say you some words of respect for your explanation which I saw before.
Please don't think about cyrillic something wrong. They are polite.
And they also like the truth and justice.

FWIW, I run gentoo here, and as long as you're not using any
kdepim apps
(which due to deps, some at the kde and some at the gentoo level,
requires akonadi, which in turn forces on gentoo's USE=semantic-
desktop
and with it, nepomuk, virtuoso, etc), it's possible to set USE=-
semantic-
desktop and build without all that cpu and memory hogging junk.
Ironically, it was only after the kmail akonadification persuaded
me to
get off it (claws-mail now) and all kdepim apps entirely
(akregator was
the other one I used, again claws-mail now, with the feed plugin),
allowing me to kill akonadi and then the whole semantic-desktop,
that I
really began to seriously appreciate and fully enjoy the rest of
kde4, to
the same extent that I had kde3.5.7+. Ironic, because the
semantic-
desktop stuff was one of the big headline features of kde4...
kde4 runs WAY faster with all that semantic-desktop stuff not only
disabled, but entirely configured out at build-time. Seriously, I
had
forgotten what a fast and responsive desktop was, and I rather
felt like
the MSWormOS users do after finding out how much resources either
the
viruses or their scan-on-use AV was using, and how much it was
slowing
down the system! It was as if I upgraded by a half-gigahertz or
got a
couple extra cpu cores, just for killing that stuff!
But... as John MC-D said, there's a lot of other choices out there
besides kde. If kde's not doing it for you and you can't
configure it to
your liking so it does do it for you, definitely find something
else, as
I did with kmail when it akonadified, switching to the gtk-based
claws-
mail. Killing the semantic-desktop stuff (akonadi, nepomuk,
virtuoso,
etc) definitely dramatically improved the rest of the kde
experience for
me, but it's not something that just anyone will be able to do...
not
everyone runs gentoo and/or builds from source, and if you're
running a
binary-based distro, those choices are made for you by the folks
that
build it.
FWIW, there's still a build/link dependencies on strigi for
kdelibs here,
so it's still installed, but it's built without the clucene or
hyperestraier options, and nepomuk, etc, is disabled (and not
installed)
via USE=-semantic-desktop, so it's pretty neutered as it has no
backends
to use. It's providing the deps that kdelibs appears to need and
that's
about it. And strigi itself, without its backends, is a pretty
fast
build, certainly so compared to kdelibs.
Meanwhile, kde5, aka kde frameworks, is planned to modularize
things far
more (thus the frameworks bit), and hopefully that'll allow even
the
users of binary distros that default to semantic-desktop support
to
entirely opt-out of installing it if they don't want/need it,
without
forcing a rebuild just to get at what is now build-time-only
options, in
many cases.
