Hi :)
Thanks for clarifying a few things there :) Kexi doesn't appear in the repos
for Ubuntu and i don't know an easy way to add them. I am sure there is an
easier way than installing a ton of stuff just to get those repos!
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

Kexi is the database app in Calligra. Calligra is a fork of KOffice.
KOffice gave all their remaining database devs to Calligra and dropped
their version of
the database. Calligra seems very active.
Unfortunately Calligra and KOffice are really quite dependant on the K
Desktop
Environment (KDE). They do have a port for Windows (and possibly Mac, i'm
not
sure). Calligra have also developed a few apps that can work on mobile
platforms but that doesn't include Kexi yet.
Hi Tom,
I am Kexi developer. Kexi is dependent only on KDE Frameworks, not KDE
Desktop. Like Libre Office, you can run Kexi with other desktops e.g. GNOME,
any many do that. To show how small the dependencies are, I would maybe
measure the real size of them e.g. for two popular distributions.
So, the non-KDE versions of distros are going to ask for a lot of
dependencies, probably Qt libraries and stuff. You will probably need to
add the appropriate official repos.
These days Qt is smalled in size than 5 average JPEG files :)
For Ubuntu you can try
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
to install all of Kubuntu into Ubuntu but you might want to revert to your
Gnome or Unity DE at the login prompt (have a look along the bottom
task-bar/panel when you get the login prompt).
'sudo apt-get install kexi' or so, would do the trick better because it
would install only dependencies needed by Kexi, not entire KDE Desktop.
I am looking forward to hear feedback from people that use Kexi outside of
KDE Desktop.
