Hi, during Akademy there was a request to promote KDAV from KDE PIM to Frameworks for use by Plasma Mobile. KDAV is a framework that implements the CalDav/ CardDav/GroupDav protocol on top of KIO's WebDav support. It would be classified as a functional tier 3 framework.
So far we have fixed a number of obvious ABI-compatibility issues, removed QtXml[Patterns] usage from the public interface and relicensed GPL parts (apart from a bit of test code) to LGPL. The next step would be a more thorough review to identify changes necessary before becoming a Framework. To avoid the last minute invasive changes we ended up doing for KCalendarCore, I'd propose the following timeline: - identify and implement all necessary changes to the API and ABI until the 20.04 Application release (that includes the still necessary move to the KF5 library namespace). - release KDAV with 20.04 with the final API/ABI that the first KF5 release will provide as well - become part of the KF5 release in May or June 2020, release as a drop-in replacement of the last application release In general this is following the same transition process that has been used for Syndication, KHolidays, KContacts and KCalendarCore as that should cause minimal disruptions for distributors, but if there's better ideas on how to handle this, now is a good time to bring this up :) Feedback? Thanks, Volker
