is the fact that the most feasible way to bridge the c++ of an app and the qml part is trough imports. you once told me you did some imports for use in muon for instance, and while there may be some parts of those that does have an use outside that application for everybody to use, all of it surely isn't, being its use just bridge functionality of that particular application, and that's fine. However, i would like everything in org.kde.* to be considered a library, with all the requirements of api stability for the entire lifecycle, and requiring this kind of discipline from all random developers is simply not realistic. then, of course if an app developer decides that a part of his private.foo may make sense for everybody to use can always move it, but by accepting all the social contract that maintaining a library means -- Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
