Well, I think he was asking whether developing a separate repository that provides more fine-grained KDE packages is useful, rather than which distros provide split-up KDE packages.
Yes, exactly. I know what CentOS is about (RHEL minus support), and I don't want to use another distribution. I also know that normally it only uses Red Hat packages.
My concern was indeed about the feasibility of an external repo containing a bundle of "KDE light" packages. I remember (from Slackware) that KDE packages can be rebuilt without certain stuff, using the DO_NOT_COMPILE=xxxxx yyyy zzzz variable. In fact, I've done it before, but I don't quite know how to do this the CentOS way, if I may say so.
Any suggestions?
