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
DONE	kio/netaccess.h: there are some "TODOs" about deprecating most methods in favour of job+exec (TODO: compare with synchronousRun) (normal)	Àlex Fiestas
DONE	Port all of kdelibs from NetAccess::synchronousRun to job->exec, including unittests. This will make it possible to move kio/tests/jobtest.cpp and jobremotetest to staging/kio (and only link them to kiocore). There's a left use in accessmanager.cpp	Aleix Pol
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
DONE	Port kdelibs from KProcess to QProcess (except kpty and KRun) (easy). Warning: Need to port some functionnality to Qt 5	Martin Sandsmark
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
DONE	Go through all users of KEMailSettings (e.g. in lxr.kde.org) to find which methods are actually used, deprecate the others	Martin Klapetek
DONE	Replace usage of KSocketFactory by the implementation of the method (it's very short).	Kevin Ottens
DONE	Move KFileMetaInfoItem and PredicateProperties from kio, as well as kfile/kfilemetadatareader* to kde4support https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111897/	[email protected]
IN PROGRESS	Finish deprecating methods marked as @deprecated (add macro+ifdef, ensure kdelibs doesn't use).	Benjamin Port
DONE	Move kio/kfile/kdiskfreespace.cpp to kde4support https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111605/	[email protected]
DONE	Move K4AboutData and KComponentData to kde4support (not used anymore, apparently)	[email protected]
DONE	Replace signals: with Q_SIGNALS: and slots with Q_SLOTS: everywhere in kdelibs (to make moving less work) https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111609	[email protected]
DONE	Move tests that didn't follow their classes. E.g. kcompositejobtest from kdecore/tests to kcoreaddons/autotests.	Kevin Ottens
DONE	Move KDialogQueue into separate files.	Benjamin Port
DONE	Port all of kdelibs (except kde*support and classes aimed for tier4) from KDialog to QDialog	Kevin Ottens
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) Frameworks Done: tier1/itemmodels (except for autotests) tier1/karchive tier1/kcodecs tier1/kcoreaddons tier1/kdbusaddons tier1/kideltime tier1/kjs () tier1/kplotting tier1/kwidgetsaddons tier1/kwindowsystem tier1/solid () tier1/sonnet () tier1/threadweaver tier2/kauth () tier2/kconfig has problems building. need to resolve these first. (*) Means that there are still FindFOO.cmake files in the framework's directory.

IN PROGRESS	Use tr() again (rather than QCoreApplication::translate with empty context) in all tier1+tier2+staging frameworks (except the ones which will go to tier3, they can use i18n)	George Goldberg (grundleborg) done, however there are some incorrect uses of QObject::tr() still floating around which need fixing in a later patch.
