Hello all, tldr, should we kill kdetoys?
As Applications 15.08 has been released I thought I'd take a look at which of our applications still need to be ported to Qt5/kf5. I did a diff of what we released in the 15.08 release vs what is already kf5 based and got this result: https://paste.kde.org/prbvha5kh#line-13 <-- paste should stay for a year. Items with + are not Qt5/kf5 based yet or weren't in the 15.08 release. Christoph Feck has a more detailed list that includes Extragear, but isn't organized by KDE Module here: http://developer.kde.org/~cfeck/portingstatus.html . I took a quick stab at porting amor to Qt5/kf5 and it shouldn't be too hard, but the question is should it be ported at all? The previous maintainer hasn't touched it in quite some time. The code is X11 specific, and the whole concept won't work on Wayland anyway because windows don't know about each other and can't position themselves. KTux has been ported to Qt5/kf5 but I don't see any way in plasma 5 to make it the screensaver. We only support images in the lock screen and kwin will only support the greeter used in plasma-workspace/ksmserver/screenlocker so if you run it it shows a nice window of tux flying around, but I don't think that's useful in today's screensaver less world somehow. KTeatime may still be useful, but if we are cleaning out kdetoys, maybe it should be moved to kdeutils so it isn't the lone application in a module? I'll ask sysadmin to make the above moves unless anyone objects within a couple of weeks. I would put ktux and amor into unmaintained (or playground? not sure which is more suitable) and stop releasing them in 15.12 and move kteatime to kdeutils. thanks, Jeremy _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
