Frameworks/Epics/New Runtime Organization

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

IN PROGRESS	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

IN PROGRESS	kcontrol/spellchecking	sonnet	??
IN PROGRESS	kde4 script	??	??	it's a barebones version of a script used in KApplication; should end up wherever KApplication does
IN PROGRESS	kdeeject	??	??	research what uses it; can it be removed altogether?
IN PROGRESS	kde4-menu	??	??	deprecate/remove
IN PROGRESS	kdesu	??	??
IN PROGRESS	kdontchangethehostname	kded	??	deprecate the binary, move it into kded
IN PROGRESS	keditfiletype	kded	??	library support; identify most appropriate framework; perhaps move into a "KDE cli" repository?
IN PROGRESS	kcm_keditfiletype	kde-workspace	??
IN PROGRESS	kfile4	kde-kdeutils?	??	another candidate for a "KDE cli" repo?
IN PROGRESS	kglobalaccel	??	??	whatever framework the global accel classes go into
IN PROGRESS	kiconfinder	??	??	kdesdk, "KDE cli" repo, or just drop; hard to say what its value really is

IN PROGRESS	kio_bookmarks	kde-baseapps	??	used by konqueror, move it there
IN PROGRESS	kio_cgi	kdesdk	??
IN PROGRESS	kio_desktop	kde-baseapps	??	used by konq, dolpin, folderview; Plasma Workspaces is working on deprecating it
