Description Jonas Kvinge 2024-04-04 20:57:46 UTC

There currently is a hard-coded "Requires: pipewire" in the spec file for plasma6-session.
This causes plasma6-session not to be installed when upgrading openSUSE to plasma 6 when pipewire is locked so it's not automatically installed.
The pipewire package is not a library and it should not be required for installing the plasma session. I do not want pipewire or pulseaudio installed on my computers.

pipewire is required in the wayland session for multiple Plasma features such as window thumbnails. It's intentionally a hard dependency.
