Now that we have Baloo in KDE I guess is safe to remove the Akonadi and Nepomuk, right?



I have upgraded my Kubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 without any problem. In the upgrade process, the system removed some packages but not the packages related with akonadi and nepomuk:



libnepomuk4                                     install
libnepomukcleaner4 install
libnepomukcore4abi1 install
libnepomukquery4a install
libnepomukutils4 install
libnepomukwidgets4 install
nepomuk-core-data install
nepomuk-core-runtime install
akonadi-backend-mysql install
akonadi-server install
libakonadi-calendar4 install
libakonadi-contact4 install
libakonadi-kabc4 install
libakonadi-kcal4 install
libakonadi-kde4 install
libakonadi-kmime4 install
libakonadi-notes4 install
libakonadi-socialutils4 install
libakonadiprotocolinternals1 install


Is it safe to remove this packages?, do I need to do something more? My intention is to remove completely Akonadi and Nepomuk as they are no longer necessary.

Well - Maybe not...



Akonadi



Akonadi: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi




The Akonadi framework is responsible for providing applications with a
centralized database to store, index and retrieve the user's personal
information. This includes the user's emails, contacts, calendars,
events, journals, alarms, notes, etc...




Nepomuk & Baloo



The Nepomuk was replaced with the Baloo - http://community.kde.org/Baloo
