Definition of Frameworks and Platformm
In our communication we want to use Frameworks, since this communicates the modularity of our libraries better than the term "platform", which gives a more monolithic, either-or impression.
Framework
- Useful as separate library
- platform independent
Platform
What needs work here?
The following list gives an idea of some problems we see with splitting up our frameworks:
- 1) needs sycoca
- 2) uses mimetype/xdg
- 3) uses kded
- 4) kglobal used, but only for ref/deref (which can maybe move into Qt)
- 5) uses kglobal (in a non-trivial way)
- 6) uses kaboutdata
- 7) should be optional
- 8) duplicates functionality in Qt
- 9) should move into its own library
Framework or Platform in kdelibs
The list below indicates our _intended_ situation.
- kdecore
- auth 1)
- compression 2)
- kconfig 1), 8)
- date 3), 8)
- io 2), 5)
- jobs 4)
- kernel - needs splitting up and further investigation
