In the plasma sprint we have done a session to plan what we are going to do with kde-workspace/kde-runtime repositories, here is the proposal we came with.
We are going to create 2 new repos called plasma-desktop and plasma-workspace, we decided to use plasma as a prefix so in the future we can have more workspaces and desktops without being in the awkward situation of having one wrongly labeled as "KDE" while others are not (thinking on for example having Razorqt/lxde as part of KDE in the future). Current kde-workspace and kde- runtime will be kept for history reasons. plasma-desktop will hold all specific pieces tied to the desktop experience, for example the touchpadenabler only makes sense on laptops. plasma-workspace will contain all bits that are generic enough to be of interest for more than one form factor, for example we need appmenu in both, tablet and desktop. Additionally we want to split optional dependencies (kinfocenter for example) and other projects that are quite big. Some of the new repositories we want to create are: powerdevil kwin oxygen (containing a full Oxygen experience) ksysguard kinfocenter klipper... A full list of the proposed new repositories can be found at [1]. Finally some other bits could be merged with some Frameworks, it is the case for example of solid-hardware and solid-networkstatus that should be moved to solid. Again, this is a proposal so please! send any feedback you might have. Cheers.
