@selea

there should be a full package, atleast that is what I heard.

(Disclaimer: I don't run Debian on desktop)

@fbievan

yeah, but someone making breaking changes to users like that - I can't trust that

Yeah, I get it tbh. I lost all trust in multiple projects after stuff like that.

@selea @fbievan Isn't there a package called something like "keepassxc-full" that still has all of the features?

@asbjorn

Yeah, for now.
I think it is wrong scaling down essentials features in a package like that - it is much better to instead add a package with the essential features removed instead of destroying the real one.

@selea Interesting perspective. But this is more of a problem with debian than with keepassxc, right?

I don't use debian, but I would appreciate having the option of a smaller keepassxc package. I only use the very basic features, e.g. I just manually copy-paste passwords from it.

Making a new packge called "keepassxc-minimal" might have been the better choice for debian.

"Making a new packge called "keepassxc-minimal" might have been the better choice for debian."

yes, this would have been so much better

@selea @asbjorn it would have been so much better if KeepassXC changed this from OFF to ON

they could literally do it right now

Debian's choice to ship the package with the configuration matching upstream's default if you just cloned the repo and ran "cmake" is correct.

If KeepassXC doesn't trust it to be on by default why should Debian?
