There is a limit to how much you can keep broken code working... assuming such broken code exists. I don't think there is any of this such situation, as <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">ki18n_install()</tt> is basically used by KF sources that use ECM already, with marble being the only exception (and even that, marble won't break).</p></div>

<p>As you know, there are KF5-based applications outside the realm of what we can see in LXR.<br />
One of the primary goals of KF5 is to be useable by other applications not written by the KDE community (I actually know quite a few).<br />
As such, it's not hard to imagine a cmake-based application that uses Qt and GNUInstallDirs [with qmake going away this will happen more and more], and one day it wants to use one of the frameworks. At that point, it shouldn't be forced to switch to ECMInstallDirs. Therefore I definitely see value in keeping the two things separate, as long as we keep making things easy for what is the most common case for us: using both.</p>
<p>This is why I'm requesting that the integration with ECM is called integration and not "backwards compat fallback".</p>
<p>You say you don't want to support broken code. I agree. Would you agree that the situation I'm describing here is NOT broken code?</p>

<p>I didn't say any of this, and you're replying to me here, not to Friedrich. I'm trying to bring this whole thing to a solution, so let's move aside all such accusations and concentrate on what might be helpful to resolve the technical issue.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R249 KI18n</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D29299">https://phabricator.kde.org/D29299</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>kossebau, ilic, heikobecker, Frameworks, aacid, ltoscano<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>dfaure, pino, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, cblack, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
