Why do some tarballs have 5 appended to them? baloo5, kfilemetadata5, and
milou5? Others seem to be missing the 5.
Please either add the 5 everywhere or remove it from those 3.

I renamed baloo's tar to baloo5 because it contains some libraries
which most distros will want to co-install so I'd expect baloo
(kdelibs4) and baloo (kf5) to exist in distro archives together, for
which they need different names.  kfilemetadata is similar.  milou is
probably a mistake, that won't co-exist.

Would distros prefer upstream to rename the kf5 tars, or is it ok to
tell distros to rename the older kdelibs4 versions?

A similar case exists for kactivites. It existed in kde4 as well and the
current framework has the same name.

I would really like the tarballs to have the same name. Also, baloo4 and 5
are not really co-installable. They both ship executables with the same
name.

Co-installabilty of Plasma 4 and Plasma 5 with minimal work required
by the distros is a must if we want to avoid the mess of KDE4.
Already openSUSE has announced that you can't have both installed at
once, which will force people to choose one or other, when what we
really want is for them to be able to try Plasma 5 out while still
being able to switch back to 4 if there are things that break their
workflow.

Hello John,

 workflow.

At least for openSUSE we have this planned. By choosing either the plasma5-
session or the kdebase4-session packages, the user willl be able to install 
Plasma 5 or the 4.x workspace, making this switch easy enough (each switch 
willl remove / install the required packages).

There are also other alternatives that can leverage the pacakge manager's 
capabilities (patterns, etc).

Either way, packaging tools that allow this are available, and it's likely the 
same for other distros. I don't see this as a big issue as long as it's 
properly documented. It's *much, much better* than shipping stuff out of 
prefix.

Just to clarify. All the libraries and plugins are co-instalable. It's just
the executables (baloo_file, baloostatus, balooctl, balooshow) that are not.

Baloo in Plasma 5 does not ship with the PIM stuff. It probably never will.
That will eventually be shipped somewhere else.

Are you saying that one can't use a kdepim with baloo support in a plasma 
workspace with baloo support until kdepim is ported to the 5 world ?
