Hi all, What do you think about splitting the kactivities repository into these: - library (would remain in the kactivities repo) - daemon (kactivities-service) - workspace stuff (kcm, doplhin file linking, activities:/ kio, something else?)
The reason why this came up again is that the library follows the requirements for frameworks regarding supported compilers and platforms, while the rest is *nix-only. (the trigger for the mail are the attempts Nicolás made to compile the service with msvcc which does not like templates that much*) This would make kactivities a (sort of) tier1 framework since it would only depend on Qt, and would have an optional runtime dep (the library behaves properly when the service is not present). This would allow any application to support activities in Plasma, and not taint its code with ifdefs. The alternative would be to separate only the library and keep the daemon and the workspace stuff together. That would work as well. Cheerio, Ivan * there is a flag which allows building only the library at the moment, but that seems not enough.
