Hi Yue, good to see that you among other things have already turned Karbon back to life in the Qt5/KF5 spheres :) Rock on!
Now, the plan for Calligra 3.0 was to focus on porting all code to Qt5 and KF5. No refactoring or rewriting should be done ideally, as that will only complicate things, like history (including Calligra's) teaches. One step at a time, they say surely in many languages. With KoReport, KoProperty, CalligraDB we are breaking this initial idea that we informally agreed on, makes me not that happy, would have like to work on Plan porting already now, and also am slightly fearing how much things changed with those libs. But at least it seems things are getting ready almost in time now... not yet git-cloned the repos, but soon will do. Seems you, Yue, want to do more for 3.0 as well, let me comment on that please: Am Samstag, 21.

How broken is the current shape? What stopped you/us/somebody else from replacing the current with a better one before the Qt5 port? Unless it is really broken, I would propose to simply port the existing shape for now, given that porting does not really need such an amount of work. Once you have a replacement done, the current shape can be still replaced with it, no? I see no problem doing that e.g. "only" for 3.1, not 3.0. > flow/ - I want to re-write calligraflow based on Karbon > libraries. "want" means there is no code yet, only plans, right? And it surely is not a quick thing to do, otherwise you might have done it already. Could we also perhaps just port Flow as it is now, and do the rewrite with all needed patience during 3.x times? Otherwise Calligra 3.0 would either be delayed by waiting for the Flow rewrite (which also would be done) or end up without Flow (and dissapoint the existing users), and who knows when you/us actually will have time to do that big task completely. Yue, what do you think? I would really like to get 3.0 done as quick and good as possible, and have us spent all available time on getting things to work properly in Qt5/KF5 spheres first. It surely means some work for Flow & the formula shape that might be useless some months later. But it keeps things on the safe side. Rest assured that I will work on porting Flow and the current formula shape (already would have done, if it was not reserved), so it's not about telling you what you should do, but rather us :) Cheers Friedrich _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
