Here are the notes from today's meeting (thanks Luigi ) Feature deprecation process ============= - when to deprecate a feature? Deprecation signals people that they should start porting, but on the other hand the users of a certain feature may need help and the new feature may require some stabilization; - a change on a complex application (ex kmymoney) may require help from both the Frameworks developers and the application developers, both with their specific knowledge - conclusion: deprecate as soon as the replacement is proven to be effective in relevant use cases, and the deprecation doesn't mean the people who worked on the deprecation stop working on the porting of the application
Back on https://phabricator.kde.org/T14233 (ECM and multiple Qt version) ============= TODO: build a proof of concept with solution 2) (make sure find_package(Qt) is called explicitly before find_package(ECM)) with some real repository and see how it looks like. Other discussions about the general solution. See solution 3 added to the task right now. Back on https://phabricator.kde.org/T14164 (Create version-less KF cmake targets) =========== (brief summary from the sprint discussion, please check the task) The perfect solution would be to accept both (versioned and unversioned) targets but write the correct one in the configuration files, but such a solution doesn't seem to be possible from the previous discussion (may need additional discussion with steveire, and changes in cmake) Update on https://phabricator.kde.org/T13806 (KParts plugin cleanup) =================== The feature is only used by Konqueror, so it can be moved to the application and removed from Frameworks Timeline for bumping dependencies? ======================= (Qt 5.15, C++17, CMake >= 3.16). Already agreed (by distributions). It needs to be done (can happen now, since tagging just happened) and be advertised in the proper channels (announce). Problem solved! Possible point of discussions for the next KF6 meetings (so that people are around)? ====================== Possibility: Plasma-related topics; KIO-related topics. Maybe solve lower- level first? (QTextCodec - blocked on Qt regaining support on those old codecs, state changed). Proposed for next week's meeting: - KGlobalAccel (T12063) - KPluginInfo kcmservices (T13555) - KSelectAction (T12097) See you next week! -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE Frameworks 5
