LibQApt moved to kdereview

[Jonathan Thomas]

Hello,

I've moved LibQApt, a Qt library for interacting with the APT package management system, to /trunk/kdereview/libqapt. It is cross-platform in that it should work on all Debian-based systems, so it's not going to be useful for absolutely everyone, but it would still be great for those who could to give it a code review. As a note, I did do a stable release of QApt yesterday, and as such the API/ABI are now frozen. It's unfortunate that I was not able to do this move before the stable release, but this has been a really crazy month for me, and circumstances left me unable.

For those who can use it, in the way of dependencies you'll need libapt-pkg, libxapian, libpolkit-qt-1-core, and the standard Qt4 libraries. It ships an optional KDE-based utility which is fully translatable. The library itself is fully documented via the doxygen apidox[1], and all public classes have proper dpointers.

At the moment, the major consumer of LibQApt is Muon, which I have also recently moved from kdereview. I shall write a move email for Muon directly after this, in fact. Aside from Muon, LibQApt already also powers several applications in the development version of Kubuntu 10.10, as well as powers a WIP backend for the Shaman package manager, which is currently residing in playground.

My intent is to move both LibQApt and Muon to extragear after their stint in kdereview.

Thanks,
Jonathan
