What to do with the Krita & Calligra?

[Jaroslaw Staniek]

Hi Boud,
Is the situation different in this regard than it was in KOffice 1 ->
Calligra 2 time?
Co-installation was not there and is not here in case of Calligra 2/3 apps.
Maybe package(s) of Krita 3 can be marked as obsoleting calligra-krita (2),
whatever the package name is in given distro.

Perhaps we can afford to have proper update for README.PACKAGERS.

Somewhat apparent change is lack of krita -> calligralibs dependency but
it's kind of transparent for users.

@Cyrille: Would you be able to update the site with at putting least proper
links to krita.org? Or hand over to someone else.

A short list:
-
​I have no access here: ​
update the menu by removing Krita
​ (2 places)
-Editing possible, I can try: remove the
https://www.calligra.org/tour/calligra-suite/graphics-applications/​ and
unlink it from https://www.calligra.org/tour/calligra-suite/
-Editing possible, Boud: would you try? calligra.org/krita page stays (as
it's target from elsewhere in the internet) but needs update - mentioning
the change
-calligra.org artwork - I am volunteering to cut off one app :)
-places such as wikipedia would need updates, please consider changed for
your language :)
