Frameworks/Epics/kdelibs cleanups

Cleaning up kdelibs

Next to the other efforts for kdelibs modularization, there's also some cleanup tasks which needs to be done accross the whole kdelibs codebase. Tasks in here are probably more suitable for short term, bite sized involvement.

Note: For most of those tasks we try to put an estimation of the difficulty can be: easy, normal, hard (somewhat like in video games). ;-)

Status	Description	Contact
DONE	remove kglobal.h include from staging/kwidgets/src/icons/kiconloader.h, fix compilation by adding the header where necessary (easy)	Christoph Cullmann
DONE	move ktypelist.h from kdecore/util to kde4support (easy)	Christoph Cullmann
DONE	move kentrymaptest from kdecore/tests to kconfig/autotests (easy)	Christoph Cullmann
DONE	move kascii and kasciitest to kde4support (easy)	Christoph Cullmann
DONE	Port away from KGlobalSettings::singleClick() (easy)	Dominik Haumann
DONE	#cmakedefine -> #cmakedefine01, #ifdef -> #if, in order to catch missing includes (easy)	Nicolas Lécureuil
DONE	Port from KCmdLineArgs+KApp to QApp+setApplicationName in all unittests that don't use args (easy)	Jeremy Whiting
TO DO	kio/netaccess.h: there are some "TODOs" about deprecating most methods in favour of job+exec (TODO: compare with synchronousRun) (normal)	?	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	Fix kfileplacesmodeltest (normal)	Benjamin Port
DONE	Move to kcoreaddons the tests in kdecore/tests that are actually tests for classes in kcoreaddons, except kurltest (easy)	Anne-Marie Mahfouf
DONE	"cp kurlmimetest.cpp kurlmimedatatest.cpp" and port the second one to KUrlMimeData (in order to test both the deprecated API and the new API). After that, move the old one (kurlmimetest) to kde4support. (normal)	Lambert Clara
DONE	Port kcmdlineargs from KUrl to QUrl, then move KUrl out of kcoreaddons, and into kdecore for now, final destination will be kde4support. (easy)	Matt Williams
TO DO	Port kdelibs from KProcess to QProcess (except kpty) (easy). Warning: Need to port some functionnality to Qt 5	Davide Bettio	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	Update qmimetype in kdelibs from the one soon merged to Qt5, port all of kdelibs to the API changes. (normal)	David Faure
DONE	Create a staging/kconfig framework out of kdecore/config + kdecore/kernel/kauthorized*. Code should be ready (no more dependencies on the rest of kdecore). (normal)	David
DONE	Port all of kdelibs from KGlobal::config() to KSharedConfig::openConfig(), adjust includes (easy)	Claus Christensen
DONE	Port all of kdelibs from KMimeType to QMimeType, see KDE5PORTING.html for details (easy)	David Faure
DONE	deprecate KLineEdit::clickMessage, by applying https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/101360/diff/#index_header and porting kdelibs (easy and quick)	Benjamin Port
DONE	Move KDialog saveDialogSize+restoreDialogSize to static methods taking a QDialog.	Benjamin Port
IN PROGRESS	Finish deprecating methods marked as @deprecated (add macro+ifdef, ensure kdelibs doesn't use).	Benjamin Port
DONE	Move KDialogQueue into separate files.	Benjamin Port
TO DO	Import QCommandLineArguments from gitorious into libkdeqt5staging	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Port all of kdelibs (except kde*support and classes aimed for tier4) from KDialog to QDialog	Davide Bettio	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	Port from KGlobalSettings::desktopGeometry to QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry (very easy)	Stephen Kelly
DONE	extract KProtocolInfo out of ksycoca, making it simply read from installed files on demand. (normal)	David Faure
DONE	move KProtocolInfo to KIO, requires to split out its unittests from kmimetypetest, and to somehow sort out the call to KProtocolInfo inside kmimetype (normal)	David Faure
DONE	when gpgmepp is not found, make plasma only skip the Signature class, rather than skipping all of plasma (easy)	David Faure
DONE	One of the things we need to remove is all of the use of the Q_WS_* defines. (easy) git grep Q_WS_ Some of them should be ported to a Q_OS_ define (eg, some of Q_WS_WIN should be ported to Q_OS_WIN), but *not all of them*, so this can't just be changed with a script. It should be done manually. Some of them need to be ported to QPA (lighthouse) in some way.	Kevin Ottens For a walk through example, see this thread
IN PROGRESS	Another thing that should be done is using Find packages from ECM or CMake. (normal) For example, run 'git grep find_package' in tier1/solid. Some of the results are provided by CMake, and some come from the local kdelibs/cmake/modules folder. The kdelibs/cmake/modules folder should not need to be used. For example find_package(Flex) in solid should be replaced with find_package(FLEX) which is provided by CMake. The goal is to be able to run cd tier1/solid && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make for each framework. This is already possible with the itemmodels framework. It also works with solid, because the packages it searches for are optional and the FindFoo.cmake files are not found.	George Goldberg (grundleborg)
TO DO	Find out what should be part of the link interface and what should not be. (normal but long), details...	?	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	Port from K_GLOBAL_STATIC to Q_GLOBAL_STATIC where the Qt4 API is sufficient	Albert Astals Cid
TO DO	Port from K_GLOBAL_STATIC to Q_GLOBAL_STATIC needs Qt 5.1 changes	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Porting in KDE_Core/KLocale/Frameworks	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	After the above, removing kglobal.h from files where it is no longer used (simplifying the task of creating a framework for the people who don't realize that that needs to be done, and reducing the build fixes that are required because they don't do a clean build after moving stuff around and changing include_directories)	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Investigate to what extent our use of X11 API and KWindowSystem can be replaced with QPA (hard) Some work started on adding the accessors required for this to the QPA classes. https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,26714	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Deprecate and move classes marked "kde4support" in Frameworks/Epics/Reduce_class_duplication	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	KDEGuiAddons should be renamed and maybe repurposed	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	qWarning << QUrl::errorString() rather than QMessageBox with QUrl::toString() (which is empty) to the user when the URL is invalid (grep for "Invalid URL"?)	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	kdeui/colors/kcolorhelpers_p.h has at least a copy in kdeguiaddons, and perhaps another in kcolorwidgets. Resolve that.	?	<{{{3}}}>
IN PROGRESS	Move icon loading from kwidgets to kdeguiaddons	David Faure
DONE	Port all of kdelibs from KIcon to QIcon / KDE:::icon(), then move KIcon out (easy)	David Faure
TO DO	KGlobalSettings is initalized by KApplication. Find out if any parts of it work without that, and split it into parts that work without the initialization and parts that don't.	?	<{{{3}}}>
DONE	Port away from and deprecate KHBox/KVBox	Albert Astals Cid
TO DO	Find out if KGuiAddons should be deprecated or get an upstream equivalent. The real value is in KStandardGuiItem. See if it can be redesigned in the alternative	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Port KStandardAction from KAction to QAction	Benjamin Port	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Move KTabBar to kde4support and port users in kdelibs to QTabbar. preferably KTabWidget should go the same way, but needs a feature in Qt (see the qt5.1 epic)	?	<{{{3}}}>
IN PROGRESS	Use correct QCoreApplication::translate in all tier1+tier2+staging frameworks (except the ones which will go to tier3, they can use i18n)	George Goldberg (grundleborg)
TO DO	Move KDialog to kde4support (once all other KDialog related cleanups are done)	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Move KRestrictedLine to kde4support	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Move KDialogButtonBox to kde4support	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Move KDoubleValidator to kde4support	?	<{{{3}}}>

TO DO	Move all gesture facilities of KAction in KGestureMap (which would then register QActions)	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Move KAction::event to an event filter, see how to make it available to all QAction instances when using the consistency framework	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	Once KAction has only the auth features left, rename it to KAuthAction and move it in kauth	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	KApplication::*Timestamp methods go to a new QObject subclass in tier4/consistendy	?	<{{{3}}}>
TO DO	KApplication::sessionConfig go to kconfig-gui, probably has a static method there	?	<{{{3}}}>
