Rust Wrapper of KConfig

KDE Projects are currently predominantly written in C++ and Python since the bindings for other projects are simply not present or are not idiomatic to use. I am working on Rust bindings for KConfig KDE Framework. The bindings can be found here. As a consequence of this project, I ended up contributing upstream to qmetaobject and became a collaborator in that project.

Mentor

Jos van den Oever

Features Available

The bindings for the following parts are pretty much complete and have all the features:

Some work has already been done for KConfigXT like feature, but that is still in the early stages and not ready to be used yet.

Documentation

docs.rs

Published Crates

The following are the links to the crates that have been published:

Commits

All the commits are made by me in the kconfig-rs repository, so I will not be listing them individually.

I also ended up contributing heavily to qmetaobject. Here is a list of pull requests that were merged in qmetaobject:

Finally, I also got a pull request merged in KConfig: Make KConfig::mainConfigName() public
