 There's 2 main differences:
 1. Muon Discover has historically used OS metadata to define what are
 applications an what's relevant to the users (AKA end-user applications).
 Although they claim it will be done eventually on Apper as well. In any case
 Muon Discover doesn't aim to manage packages, it aims to provide a library
 of resources for the user to enhance his KDE/Plasma experience.
Apper uses metadata to define application for years now, it also provided
Plasma integration for removing applictions directly from kickoff thanks
to PackageKit session interface.
However on the point of managing packages Apper doesn't tries to merge
the two things in a way you don' t need to open another application to install
a package...

 2. Muon has different backends, so we're not solely relying on PackageKit
 which means it can act as a frontend to different technologies other than
 packagekit, currently bodega, KNS/OCS and Apt (the last one for historic and
 practical reasons).
Support for different technologies could also be added to Apper but no
one ever stepped up to give a hand, and I myself don't like much these others
to do it...

   still
   change how gtk apps look line.

  Well, on the other hand it's thought to be used from the systemsettings. A
  3rd party project would have to trigger the kcmshell5 or create a separate

 Or you know use systemsettings from that other DE. I'm just arguing that the
 name kde-gtk-config is fine by the branding, not trying to convince you to
 move stuff around again.

Hm, if it's positioned as The GTK configuration GUI made by KDE and not as a 
part of Plasma, then kde-gtk-config is indeed okay.

I guess it's a more general question: Do we position System Settings as part 
of Plasma? Do we position all KCMs as part of Plasma?
The answer to this question will likely have consequences beyond this one 
here.

 Why is that?

I was waiting for Kubuntu to freeze, in case they needed a last new KDE4

That's in the past anyway, so I went forward and merged frameworks to

  to
  be something totally core. So it's not only at all.
  
   The reasoning is that this way they will be released together with

  I don't see that anyone can have a problem with kde-gtk-config.
  
  The muon move i see as much less clear, there are other installers
  provided
  by KDE (kpackagekit comes to mind) and muon is not widely used (AFAIK)
  outside
  KUbuntu, thus putting all the weight of making it a core thing is
  something I
  think we should not be doing without a bigger discussion with the
  community,
  and not just in Plasma.
 
 I don't expect to compete with Apper. Muon Discover is a software center
 and that's the main solution I'm pushing here, as I explained in Plasma.
 Apper is a package manager. That is, a way where we can display to our

Hi all,
   
It seems there has been a recent outbreak of repository moves which
have been extremely poorly co-ordinated by those doing the requests.
   
In addition, it is actually a requirement that modules moving from
Extragear into (what was at least) the SC need to re-transit through
KDE Review.It is also considered proper practice to at least inform
the translation, documentation and release  teams in advance you
intend to make these moves - something which has also been neglected.
   
For all further repository structure moves - please ensure you have
received the appropriate consent from the above mentioned teams, and
have announced them on the appropriate mailing lists in advance.
   
@Plasma team: plasma-devel@kde.org does not constitute an appropriate
mailing list, as it is not a community wide development mailing list.
Only kde-devel and kde-core-devel qualify for this.
   
Thanks,
Ben Cooksley
KDE Sysadmin
  
   My apologies, I shouldn't have rushed into doing such moves and send
   e-mails to all the interested parties.
  
   If someone considers it appropriate, I can roll some of the changes
   back.
 
  Maybe you should explain the changes so people is aware of them :)
 
  Cheers,

 Changes:
 - kde-gtk-config was moved from extragear/base to kde/workspace.
 - muon was moved from extragear/sysadmin to kde/workspace.

 That is, only projects.kde.org structure change.

 That's a total understament, it changes them from being something extra to
 be something totally core. So it's not only at all.

 The reasoning is that this way they will be released together with Plasma
 Workspace.

 I don't see that anyone can have a problem with kde-gtk-config.

 The muon move i see as much less clear, there are other installers provided
 by KDE (kpackagekit comes to mind) and muon is not widely used (AFAIK) outside
 KUbuntu, thus putting all the weight of making it a core thing is something I
 think we should not be doing without a bigger discussion with the community,
 and not just in Plasma.

 As they've been used they don't really make sense outside Plasma
 (especially the first) and we want to make sure that distros know these
 components are designed to work together with Plasma.

 you're saying muon doesn't make sense outside plasma? how come? How does it
 stop working?

I'm pretty sure he's talking about kde-gtk-config here. his list was
kde-gtk-config then muon. kde-gtk-config isn't useful outside of
plasma, muon probably is though I would think...


 I didn't notify kde-core-devel because it didn't occur to me that the
 community would have an opinion regarding whether it's me who releases the
 packages or Jonathan (who has been doing the Plasma packages).

 Again, that's a total understament, i feel very sad you think that
 extragear/base vs kde/workspace is just who releases the packages.

 Can you also please clarify to which release of plasma do you want to add this
 packages? I hope Plasma 5.2 since we're less than two weeks away from 5.1
 release and Beta has been released already, right?

 Cheers,
   Albert
