Hi Bernardo,
You could have linked to this page:

That's our process
https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/add-project/incubation/#candidate-phase
I can be the sponsor, although I don't have an onedrive account to
test your code against a onedrive server.
A big caveat with the project is that it uses C++ modules and as such
has some issues with building with current Qt + GCC 15, it builds only
with clang 18+.

Are there any evolutions ? Did you report the issue you encountered to
Qt ?
Cheers,

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

Hi Méven,
I did report the issue to Qt. It is tracked at
<https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-142513>. Unfortunately,
the issue seems unlikely to be resolved at Qt's side since it would
require changes at lots of headers. However, the build works perfectly
with any recent version of clang.
The only evolution is that the new "-Wno-expose-global-module-tu-local"
flag in GCC 16 would fix the issue. It looks like GCC 16 will release in
late April or early May this year, and will take a little bit more time
to be added to distributions. So it seems clang is the only option for
using Qt with C++20 modules for the time being.
Cheers,
Bernardo
