Repos WITHOUT frameworks branch
jovie
text to speech daemon
- Ignore. it is meant to be replaced by QtSpeech; see few blog posts from jpwhiting:
juk
Music player
- Who do we ask if they want to port it?
- mpyne
- sandsmark
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [cfeck] There is initial porting work at github.com/KapiX/juk/commits/kf5
- mpyne took a stab at a rewrite approach at https://bitbucket.org/mpyne/jukng
- [cfeck] Are we able to merge work from github?
- [mpyne] I'll take a look at the work but there's no reason that we can't take it as long as author is willing and code isn't completely insane.
- [tosky] the author came to #kde-devel few weeks ago, so maybe we can reping him
kaccessible
- Question: Do we need this or Qt5 accessibility is all we need in this regard?
kppp
- One user "complained" at Gardening mailing list
- https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-gardening/2017-July/000142.html
- can't Network Manager / Modem Manager do this?
- Who do we ask if they want to port it?
kremotecontrol
Frontend for remote controls
- Who do we ask if they want to port it?
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- Anyone else?
- There was already a thread on kde-utils-devel (https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-utils-devel/2017-July/004049.html) to move it to unmaintained.
ksaneplugin
- Not important, let it die
kfilereplace
Utility to assist with bulk file renaming
- Who do we ask if they want to port it?
- [scarpino] I can do the port if none step up.
klinkstatus
Tool to check the current status of links in a web page
- Who do we ask if they want to port it?
- [cfeck] As far as I remember, the original author (Paulo) was interested to do (or help with) the port
Repos WITH frameworks branch
kget
- What is the status?
kimagemapeditor
- What is the status?
- [tosky] mostly working, requires some testing from people who used it more than me; a lot of kdelibs4support to be removed, but not a blocker
kmouth
- Master branch is KF5-based as of now, needs testing
- Past discussion about the stability of QtSpeech: discussed on the distribution list; apparently going stable with Qt 5.10.
kolf
- What is the status?
- [tosky] it seems to be working; Frederik Schwarzer expressed some concerns while reviewing kdelibs4-based games about the embedded copy of Box2D, maybe it can be removed, but maybe it's not a blocker for merging frameworks into master.
kopete
- for some reason branch is called kf5
- What is the status?
kscd
- for some reason branch is called kf5
- What is the status?
- [tosky] mostly working, but requires more restesting; there is a pending patch for musicbrainz5 support, which is not strictly a blocker, but it should be cleaned (some cmake files can be rewritten in a simpler way, or reimported from their newer versions, or shared): https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127196/
ksirk
- Master branch is KF5-based as of now, needs testing
palapeli
- What is the status?
- [tosky] it starts, but tiles are not loaded; debug needed
- [stikonas] one of the problems is due to the use of palapeli:// prefixes for file locations. QStandardPaths wouldn't work with it. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the only problem, I still wasn't able to get it to slice puzzles after I removed those.
- [tosky] it starts, but tiles are not loaded; debug needed
sweeper
- What is the status?
- - One review is open (https://phabricator.kde.org/D5677), after that the frameworks branch should be ready for merging into master.
zeroconf-ioslave
- What is the status?
- [tosky] it starts, but I found it difficult to test zeroconf in general, so I'm not sure if it works or not.
Weird repos
kmix
KF5 is in master but not default
- Can we make KF5 default?
- [tosky] a lot of work went into the pure KF5 branch ("frameworks") lately. With the last fixes by Jonathan Marten it should work; testing needed.
umbrello
KF5 is in master, but also has kdelibs4 code
- Can we remove kdelibs4 code?
