Frameworks/Epics/KDEUI Crumble

From KDE Community Wiki

KDEUI Crumble

This page is the battle plan to finally get rid of KDEUI in kdelibs/frameworks. It lists the header name of all the classes in kdeui, they are sorted in sections per new destination for them.

Each section tries to also provide simple indications of the contraints to follow during the move (mostly about dependencies). If a class is not fitting one of the constraints, it is part of the job to first reduce the dependencies of the class to fit the contraints prior to the move. If you are too blocked to carry on, please add a note for the class.

The sections are roughly sorted by order of difficulty. The classes in the first sections should be reasonably easy to move, while the ones in the last sections are more challenging.

Tip: you can use http://lxr.kde.org/ to find out where in KDE the class is used.

KDE4Support (DONE)

Points to verify before moving the class in KDE4Support:

  • Make sure the class is used only in kde4support itself or kde4attic but not anywhere else in kdelibs
  • Don't forget to change the export in the moved header
  • Add API doc in the header file about it being deprecated and indicate how to port
  • Look at the bug reports for the component
