Hello,
I would like to start the incubation process for kio-onedrive[1] and to
seek a sponsor for this process. The KDE Invent issue to track the
incubation request is at
<https://invent.kde.org/bernardogn/kio-onedrive/-/issues/20>.
kio-onedrive is a kio worker that allows applications such as Dolphin to
access files stored on the user's Microsoft OneDrive account and the
files stored in it, similarly to how kio-gdrive allows Dolphin to access
the user's Google Drive.
The people committing to the project, as far as I know, would be just
me. However, a few KDE developers have expressed interest in the past.
I agree to follow the principles of the KDE manifesto.
This project would also advance KDE's strategy to reach its mission by
"interoperating well with proprietary services."
However, there may be one technical hiccup: right now, the project needs
to be compiled with Ninja as the CMake generator, and with Clang as the
C++ compiler. When GCC 16 releases, it will be possible to compile
kio-onedrive with GCC, but the requirement to use Ninja as the CMake
generator will stay for the foreseeable future. I do not believe this is
a too onerous requirement for distributions, I have managed to make
builds for Debian, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Arch Linux and Fedora[2].
Thank you,
Bernardo
