| ===Minutes from IRC meeting===
| |
| *2012-07-03
| |
| *requested by jstaniek
| |
| *attended by boemann, jstaniek, smitpatel
| |
| | |
| *idea: storage for bibliography could re-use libKexiDB instead of libQtSQL
| |
| *pros:
| |
| **simplify the code
| |
| **increase code re-use - KexiDB is developed 8+ years already with reuse in mind
| |
| **make the database ($HOME/.calligra/biblio.sqlite) accesible to Kexi, so biblio db can be added to the Kexi Scientific templates for data re-use and manipulation
| |
| **KexiDB has database and table creation API, QtSQL does not (code complexity)
| |
| *cons and questions:
| |
| **size of libKexiDB as dependency (Biblio already uses SQLite3, which is the biggest dependency compared to either QtSQL or KexiDB)
| |
| **we're moving to predicate (but that would happen no earlier than in 3.0, realistically in 3.1 or 3.2), so KexiDB is here for the transition
| |
| **are the APIs stable? (yes, most changes happen in Predicate, moreover KexiDB is calligra's internal API, so will be updated with the apps and the Biblio code)
| |
| **Words cannot depend on Kexi (it wouldn't, relevant parts of KexiDB should be moved to calligra/libs/)
| |
| | |
| *extra points, from Kexi's perspective
| |
| **Kexi will have biblio-feature db in 3.x anyway as a template, which ideally would depend on Words too. With kexidb reuse we would avoid incompatible two databases, extra work, and two Biblio products.
| |
| **For now Kexi lacks templates that are real world and integrated with other Calligra apps.
| |
| | |
| *current state: smitpatel delivered QtSQL-based code for Biblio (within GSoC 2012)
| |
| | |
| *'''final agreement has been reached'''
| |
| | |
| *KexiDB adoption
| |
| *Biblio can be still kept small enough
| |
| *jstaniek offers to move relevant part of KexiDB to calligra/libs/
| |
| **the library renames to calligradb and the dir is calligra/libs/db/ (to avoid references to Kexi)
| |
| *jstaniek offers support for smitpatel in development
| |
| *jstaniek offers support for porting when Predicate arrives
| |
| *jstaniek offers maintaining the libcalligradb for Qt 5.0
| |
| *jstaniek proposes to keep KexiDB namespace in libcalligradb however since it defines API which is heavily used in Kexi (3200+ times); after moving to Predicate it won't be a problem
