Bug ID: 524314
Summary: Tesseract should not be a required dependency
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version First 6.7.4
Reported In:
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
Spectacle used to depend optionally on tesseract, but as of
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/spectacle/-/merge_requests/529 it was
deliberately regressed to a hard dependency.
Tesseract depends on OpenCV which is a large package and I do not want it on my
system. I have no need to use text recognition, and just want to use Spectacle
as a minimal screenshot tool, which was possible up to now.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install or update Spectacle
OBSERVED RESULT
Tesseract and OpenCV installed as well
EXPECTED RESULT
They should be optional dependencies.
