In the end, I decided to fork, instead of maintaining patches. That allowed
us to hack the app shortcut system, too. For other frameworks, I do
maintain patches.
In my experience in KDE-Windows I call maintaining patches in the long term a
fork. KDE-Windows has lots of examples of this. :-)
Yes... Well, some forks are forkier than others. This is my fork of xmlgui:
https://phabricator.kde.org/diffusion/KRITA/browse/master/libs/widgetutils/xmlgui/
And this is where my definitions and patches to the frameworks I use live:
https://phabricator.kde.org/diffusion/KRITA/browse/master/3rdparty/ext_frameworks/
Can you point me to your Forks / Patches? I don't know how to find them. I
don't see a branch in emerge or something.
Well, I don't use emerge. For all the deps, I have a cmake external project. I
use
that on Linux, Windows and OSX for creating packages.
You've probably already solved some other things I'm facing currently. :-)
I think that we should try to push the KDE Community in a way that we don't
need to fork / patch anymore for our needs. In my understanding the Frameworks
effort was specifically done to make it easier just to grab some parts of KDE
Libraries one might find useful without having to include the monolithic
"kdelibs" overhead / dependencies. And if we beneficiaries of such an effort now
end up forking things, the whole effort could be called a failure :-/
Well, yes... But I have an application to release, and I cannot spend too much
time
explaining that, yes, every extra dependency is a costly burden.
Let's see if my patches fare better. ConfigWidgets and IconThemes i find
ok. :-)
Well, I didn't need those either. Because Krita has so many icons, some
Windows tools like sandboxie and some virus scanners complain, which meant
I basically _had_ to pack all icons in qrc files.
So far we had not problems with that. We always have problems with "Virus
scanners" but this is (i think) mostly because we contain lots of crypto
algorithms that are also used by CryptoLocker Viruses.
:-) I have lots and lots of really computer-illiterate users. It's a totally
different
group.
