We could consider having pkgdb e-mail the owner when the critpath bit for
the package gets flipped. Toshio, is that possible?
As to where it came from, the dep chain is:
kdepim
-> akonadi
-> qt-mysql, mysql-server
kdepim is in critical path as part of 'critical-path-apps', which is
essentially mail & web. The change that caused this to get added is that the
script prior to early December wasn't actually iterating over the proper
critpath groups, including critical-path-apps.
I don't recall mail being a critical path function. I'm not convinced
kdepim should be critpath.
The wiki states:
graphical network install
post-install booting
decrypt encrypted filesystems
graphics
login
networking
get updates
minimal buildroot
compose new trees
compose live
None of those includes email, or anything else kdepim handles.
