Repos WITH frameworks branch

juk [DONE]

Music player

  • Who do we ask if they want to port it?
    • mpyne reached out to github.com/KapiX/juk/commits/kf5, imported it as "frameworks" and started cleaning it.
      • issues solved, frameworks was merged into master on October 1st

kget [DONE]

  • What is the status?
    • [mrnhmath] unfinished, some work done
    • [wbauer] I spent some time during the last weeks to fix problems I noticed, e.g. opening the transfer history crashed, the bittorrent plugin wasn't built at all and needed some fixes to actually compile, disabled plugins disappeared from the settings, some incorrect QUrl usage that caused file:/xxx destinations being displayed and a folder hierarchy file:/xxx to be created,...
      I also ported it from KUniqueApplication to QApplication and KDBusService.

      Review Requests are upcoming, although I assume it's fine to commit minor fixes directly, right?

      The only remaining major problem I'm still facing is that downloads fail to start if the multiseg plugin is enabled (which it is by default). I'll try to investigate and fix this too, but in the worst case it could just be disabled for the release...
      Otherwise it seems to work fine here with my local changes (with multiseg disabled and using the normal kio plugin).

      So can we merge frameworks to master? AIUI this needs to be done before the dependency freeze tomorrow.
      (my fixes so far don't add any new dependencies anyway)
  • [wbauer] I merged the frameworks branch into master today (November 9th).
