Hey hey, So it's looking like we will have three GUIs in different toolkits being actively worked on. Gtk2, Gtk3 & Qt/QML. How are we going to manage code such that changes and improvements filter through the different GUI's/toolkits?
I have no real idea at this point... except for the obvious that logic needs to be in distinct classes from GUI or toolkit specific stuff. Easier said than done. But maybe we have something like the following: softwarecenter/ ... (basic stuff) softwarecenter/logic... (logic python being those that rely on few dependencies) softwarecenter/ui/gtk/... softwarecenter/ui/gtk3/ softwarecenter/ui/qml/... Currently in my gtk3 branch i have had to touch things like utils.py etc, which ideally should be toolkit agnostic but in reality rely on glib, gtk, gio etc. Gobject introspection is a spanner in the works in the sense that it makes it difficult to provide a common base even for the Gtk versions of USC. Anyways away for the weekend so look forward to the great ideas upon my return! Matt -- >From the mind of me!
