Definition of Frameworks and Platform
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
- not necessarily portable
- ...
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.
Frameworks
Functional
- kdecore
- compression 2)
- date 3), 8)
- io 2), 5)
- jobs 4)
- kaboutdata 7)
- sonnet 9)
- kshareddatacache
- dnssd
Integration
- kdecore
- auth
- kconfig 1), 8)
- kate
Where does that go?
- kdecore
- kernel - needs splitting up and further investigation
- kdeui (most items are unclear, only listing clear ones here)
- windowmanagement
- itemviews
Platform
Platform bits with annotations
- klocale 8)
- ssl/ktcpsocket 8)
- services 8) (investigate with dfaure)
- ktrader 8) (investigate with dfaure)
Platform bits without
- kded
- kglobal
- kcomponentdata
- sycoca
- kdesu
- kwebkit
Trash
- kdecore/text
Don't know / undecided
- kdecore/util
- kfile
