Right. > But i can't find any documentation anywhere that gives me a clear view > as to how far KIO is on it's way to a tier 1 framework. Well, as long as there's stuff in kio/kio, we're not done :) The goal is very simply to move all this into kiocore and kiowidgets, step by step (bottom up). The current status is that I'm making a delegate factory so that kio jobs don't instanciate their own delegates directly (which kills core/gui separation). After that we should be able to move much more stuff to kiocore (like the actual jobs, and the scheduler). > I'm asking this because i'm getting more and more interested in KIO.

It just doesn't come from qt-project.org KIO can't be tier1 though: kio core depends on kcoreaddons (for KJob), on KConfig and on ki18n. (and on kservice for some strange default-user-agent feature, maybe we can change that) That makes it tier2 if we can remove the kservice dependency. I think tier2 is not too bad, though. > Starting from August 1st, I'll be > trying to get that done so i'm really keen on knowing how far KIO is > at this moment in reaching that goal and what needs to be done. If you want to try compiling staging/kio on all platforms, please do, I'm interested in the feedback. The buildsystem should be ready for it, so the point is to detect unportable constructs in the code. > I don't know it's current state, but my interest is there (has been > there for a few years now) and if more people are interested then i'd > even like to propose a small KIO Sprint somewhere in August and > somewhere in Europe. A KIO sprint would be small, by definition, I would think :) One of the main KIO developers apart from me is Dawit, but he's quite far IIRC, I doubt he would be able to come. So if it's just you and me... we can chat on IRC or here :) -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE, in particular KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
