Hello all We ( aka's distros ) been patching startkde for years due obvious particular things oriented to the specific distro. Believe or not, is always an issue, since systems changes, and changed a lot in this years.
So, in a quick talk on Fedora KDE irc channel, i propose some old idea on how to pursue the modularization of startkde, in some way easy to whitelist / blacklist / cutomize everything. The idea is pretty simple, startkde do onthing more than source a numbered scripts, following the ordefr under /etc/startkde.d If some distribution want to blcklist or modify the script, it can add te same one in /etc/startkde.d/custom and the custom script will be read instead of the regular one. It can be found on startkde_refactoring branch in plasma-workspace and is in a rough state to be used. The bare metal tests worked, but not the proper install part checked. Quick link: http://commits.kde.org/plasma-workspace/d9ddd44e8ecc28617d11a799416871b7d27617a6 Since this is really distribution oriented, i would like to ask if we can pursue this solution and what can be done to be better.
