Well, it is part of the official documentation for ECM, in api.kde.org, so it *ought* to be up-to-date, but there is no date or version number AFAICS. What makes you think it is outdated? > or at least not complete. Heh, heh.

I guess if you use -DKDE_INSTALL_FULL_DATAROOTDIR=… all the shared data directories will follow the <appname> directories like Bo Peep's sheep. BTW the names in square brackets in [2], such as DATA_INSTALL_DIR, are supposed to be deprecated, but I see some recently-ported KF5 apps are still using them in CMakeLists.txt. Should they be using KDE_INSTALL_DATADIR, KDE_INSTALL_KXMLGUI5DIR, etc.?
