Bug#513382: akonadi-server: depends on mysql-server
Package: akonadi-server
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: important
The dependency on mysql-server means that at least *two* mysqld
processes will be started: one system-wide and one embedded in Akonadi
(per KDE user!). That is already two more than I want, but definitely
one more than asked for.
akonadi-server should be able to start just the embedded MySQL,
similar to how various packages start embedded Tomcat or Jetty
instances without depending on the system-wide server
package. (Perhaps some refactoring of the MySQL packages is needed?)
Even better, it should use some more light-weight embedded database
engine.
