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

TODO	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
TODO	kcontrol/menus	kinfocenter?	??	research what uses this category, move it there
TODO	kcontrol/spellchecking	sonnet	??
TODO	kde4 script	??	??	it's a barebones version of a script used in KApplication; should end up wherever KApplication does

TODO	kimgio	tier1/kguiaddons/src/plugins/imageformats	??	webp plugin for qimageio. needs cmake modified so it actually gives a notice if it can't find libwebp. move into kdeframeworks with all the rest.
IN PROGRESS	kioclient	??	??	kf5 port done. the same code gets compiled into several different binaries, is this sensible? a user tool, so "KDE cli" repo
