Hi all klikers ! I have an idea to make klik to behave like an installed package (while at the same time not breaking any of our core value)
The idea is simple: When you right-click on a klik package, there should a new menu option appear "Add to KDE Menu" - so it will add the klik to the KDE KMenu (Start Button) And we might also provide a simple uninstaller of such thing - like an Autopackage did. That is -- a simple KDE program, that remove those KDE menu (start button) entries (and *optionally* deletes the klik packages from the Hard Disk) That way we will have few more features from the RPM. (that is: KDE Desktop Integration, pseudo-installation, pseudo-uninstallation and real un-installatiuon) I have read parts from the Open-Source book: Maximum RPM - and understood the concepts of this powerful Package Manager. Maximum RPM book: http://www.redhat.com/docs/books/max-rpm/ RPM also allows people to query whole packages, single files, search the database, and verify the package. Also it allows to managing source code & many architectures at once. >From that whole salad - it could be good to implement klik query of packages. (try to use "rpm -qip something.rpm" to understand what I mean). I really believe that klik is better concept - and will be stronger than RPM - especially on the desktop. And copying a some RPM features will make klik only stronger. _______________________________________________ klik-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/klik-devel
