Hard-coded require on pipewire for plasma6-session
Last modified: 2024-04-05 07:52:52 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.
