| == Proposed Topics ==
| |
| | |
| * Qt5 --> Andy?
| |
| * KDE frameworks --> Patrick?
| |
| * Packaging / NSIS / MSI how to integrate in emerge even better.
| |
| * "Autoupdates" for Standalone software like Kontact / Amarok / Calligra
| |
| * Sandboxing
| |
| * Oxygen or a more Native look as the default?
| |
| * Tests / Unittests (Maybe more of a "to hack" on topic, but It would be cool if we could make better use of them)
| |
| * Keyword system to tagging unstable software:
| |
| :Gentoos emerge uses "accept keywords" to categorize versions of software into either stable, testing or experimental.
| |
| | |
| :I'd like to propose a similar (but simpler) system for emerge on Windows: Add a "keyword" parameter to installation targets. If empty / not existant (current situation) that means "safe" (stable). Potentially unstable packages could then be tagged as potentially dangerous by giving them a certain keyword (like "~").
| |
| | |
| :An emerge configuration option would be needed that defines the keywords that the user accepts (per default, that'd be empty - accepting all current targets but not those marked as unstable).
| |
| | |
| :Developers that want to run bleeding edge software could just add the "~" keyword to the list of accepted ones and instantly move up to all the latest releases (which also makes sense as they might depend on each other).
| |
| | |
| :This simple approach would not have any regressions or require a large initial "tagging" effort but would allow developers in the future to mark potentially dangerous targets leading to a nicer experience for e.g. app developers that "just want a stable base to start from".

| | |
| === Things to hack on ===
| |
| | |
| * Update mingw-w64 to gcc 4.7 as 4.6 is required by Qt 5
| |
| * Patch Mysql to build with mingw
| |
| * Removing Version numbers from filenames in emerge
| |
| * Let's build the frameworks?
| |
| * kdewin-app-installer
| |
| * Website
