Frameworks/Epics/New Runtime Organization

From KDE Community Wiki

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

Check for duplication with Plasma todo Plasma/PW2Todo

TODO kcm_componentchooser kde-workspace ??
TODO kcm_dnssd kde-workspace ??
TODO kcm_emoticons Emoticons framework ?? alternatively, could go into kde-workspace
IN PROGRESS kcm_icons kde-workspace JRiddell Port to KF 5 working
TODO kcm_kded kde-workspace ?? perhaps merge (in part / whole) into kinfocenter
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. some kde4support to go
TODO kcontrol/menus kinfocenter? ?? research what uses this category, move it there
TODO kcontrol/spellchecking sonnet ??
TODO kcontrol systemsettings ?? Should be cleaned up
TODO kde4 script ?? ?? it's a barebones version of a script used in KApplication; should end up wherever KApplication does

TODO knewstuff ?? ?? investigate if this is used by apps or is standalone testing tool
TODO knotify ?? ?? notification daemon, should it not be in libexec of the library that uses it?
TODO kpasswordserver ?? ?? password caching kded module, investigate what uses it. Some kioslaves use it, so potentially it could go to KIO framework.
TODO kquitapp KDBusAddons Aleix Pol useful cli tool to work together with KDBusAddons, maybe it should be installed by it.
TODO kreadconfig ?? ?? cli tool to read config settings, ¿probably? used by various scripts
