Repos WITHOUT frameworks branch

jovie

text to speech daemon

• Question: is this something we still need or should we just use Qt Speech?
  • First stable QtSpeech release is 5.8
    • This doesn't answer the question :D
• [tosky] it is meant to be replaced by QtSpeech; see few blog posts from jpwhiting:
  • https://jpwhiting.blogspot.cz/2015/02/qtspeech-progress.html
  • https://jpwhiting.blogspot.cz/2014/10/accessibility-is-alive-qtspeech.html

  • Anyone else?
    • There is initial porting work at github.com/KapiX/juk/commits/kf5
    • Are we able to merge work from github? If not, someone should inform the author.

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

• 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

klinkstatus

Tool to check the current status of links in a web page

• Who do we ask if they want to port it?
  • 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

• What is the status?

kolf

• What is the status?

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

• Removed dependency on kdelibs4 on Frameworks branch
• Master branch has been merged with frameworks, and doesn't have dependency on kdelibs4 anymore.

palapeli

• What is the status?
  • [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?
