Hi,
It's great to hear there is some ongoing effort to port KDiff3 to KF5.
Thanks for informing me.
I had a try at it myself, but was quite overwhelmed about the big changes in KF5.
You have my blessing to use the name KDiff3.
@Michael: It seems the repo at https://bitbucket.org/reporter123/kdiff3
has no public access.
Kudos,
Joachim

Betreff: Re: KDE inclusion
Sorry meant this to go to everyone.
I did this based off what Ubuntu was using at the time. The repo is here https://bitbucket.org/reporter123/kdiff3. Master is currently set the require CMake 3.1 but as of this moment that is just a number change. My concern here was C++11 feature dectect which is not implemented in earlier versions. Right now that is not critical. I was not aware of the parallel effort at https://cgit.kde.org/scratch/thomasfischer/kdiff3.git/log/?h=kf5. Command line parsing is fully operational on mine. To my knowledge it is fully operational and I have been using it on my machine. I generally work with two way comparisons.

I guess this is the most important question, if we can keep using the kdiff3
name under's Joachim's blessing or we have to "fork it" and find a new name.
Cheers,
