I would go with Rex on this one. In the past few months there were a lot of minor K3b releases (7 to be precise) that used the same i18n files. This would be 2.5MB * 7 ... it's quite a lot.
Instead of obsoleting an out-of-date language package at a major version jump, one could also replace the old i18n package with a dummy package, so a later i18n upgrade release would be installed automatically.
I've submitted a patch for k3b to add a --disable-libmad option to the configure script, which -- when integrated upstream or patched in with autoconf -- could be used to build without MAD mp3 support, even if libmad-devel is installed. This would get rid of the "buildconflicts: libmad-devel" for "--without mp3" builds, and is primarly of interest for end-users and well-defined builds.
Great. Any news on that ?
It's in the tracker as I have not posted it via e-mail.
