Hi, I'd like to propose moving the KMime library (https://invent.kde.org/pim/ kmime/) to Frameworks. That's part of the long ongoing effort of moving PIM libraries with uses outside of the PIM Gear modules to Frameworks.
KMime basically implements the data format of email. It has been under KF-like stability guarantees in the 4 era already but ended up in Gear after the KF split in 5. Most recent API changes were the result of a review during Akademy in preparation of the KF move, ie. I'd not take this an indication on the ability to keep API/ABI stability. As we haven't done such a move in the 6 era yet, here's a possible process/ timeline we discussed during the PIM sprint: * Review/approve this until mid January (latest). * Apply the build system and naming changes to comply with KF standards in KMime master * Release KMime with KF 6.23 in February, continue to release KMime 25.12.x from the release branch as part of Gear. * Depend on KMime KF 6.23 in PIM in time for 26.04, stop releasing KMime with Gear 26.04. If we cannot keep that schedule, shift everything back by 3-4 months, so that the switch occurs after the 26.04 Gear branching. Would that work? Best regards, Volker
