It was a crazy idea....!!! But, sometimes you have to try crazy
ideas to see what's realistic. That's always been one of my mottos.<br>
<br>
I think it's best to proceed as planned w/ the merged code and then
work out the differences. I've got the framworks head from git and
I'm having a look. I'll have a better idea as to how I can
contribute in a bit.<br>
<br>
Back in the 90's I used to do wholesale software conversions where
we'd move a company's code base from one architecture to another
(Wang-VS --> Unix/Vax). We had to develop procedures and
techniques to allow us to convert the code base 'on the fly'. This
allowed development on the existing code base to continue up to the
point of conversion. The employees would go home on Friday and come
in on Monday to a new system. Maybe some of those old, dusty tricks
can come into play.<br>

<div>So what do y'all think of Steve Guilford's
approach to moving the kdenlive code to kde5? <br>
<br>
</div>
A bit different to Vincents and JBMs ideas? I
don't have a pony in this race. Very new to all
this. But it seems to me that it might be worth a
shot trying to do this without branching and
merging.<br>
<br>
</div>
Advantages I see - <br>
</div>
Don't have to abandon bug fixes in 0.9 branch<br>
</div>
Don't have to merge bug fixes in from 0.9 branch<br>
</div>
If Steves Idea works the same code could be compiled for
kde4 or kde5 <br>
<br>

Have you made any progress on your proof of concept git clone?<br>
<br>
</div>
I volunteer to test this stuff no matter what route you all
decide to take.<br>
