Frameworks/Epics/New Runtime Organization

From KDE Community Wiki

kde-runtime reorganization epic

Important Forewords

Runtime requirements of a given Framework will be included in the Framework repository, giving people a "single tarball/repo" solution to use. Even though the runtime and libraries will be housed together, attention should still be paid to ensuring that there is a clean and well engineered split and division between the runtime and libraries. Runtime components that are supposed to be background details should not bleed through the library APIs, libraries should not have build-time dependencies on runtime components, etc.

Runtime Components Planning

Definition of done:

  • A component must be migrated to its corresponding Frameworks repository OR be merged into another approriate non-frameworks module (e.g. kde-workspace)
  • All i18n and documentation (if any) must be migrated appropriately with it
  • Has been cleared by the module maintainer that it is migrated to for inclusion

A spreadsheet was prepared of each component in kde-runtime: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?authkey=CI_3zNMC&key=0Am2uzNh0KAtpdFVaRkMtMXZEcC00MEE0dzhrbWV2Nnc&hl=en_US&authkey=CI_3zNMC#gid=0

Check for duplication with Plasma todo Plasma/PW2Todo

TODO kcm_componentchooser kde-workspace ??
TODO kcm_dnssd kde-workspace ??
TODO kcm_emoticons Emoticons framework ?? alternatively, could go into kde-workspace
IN PROGRESS kcm_icons kde-workspace JRiddell Port to KF 5 working
TODO kcm_kded kde-workspace ?? perhaps merge (in part / whole) into kinfocenter
TODO kcm_knotify KDE Notifications Frameworks ?? will probably require a rework; reference the KDE Notifications framework effort
IN PROGRESS kcm_locale kde-workspace Sebas K kdelibs should integrate with workspace being run in, klocale would be used to customize that from within a Plasma Workspace. some kde4support to go
