Fwd: knetworkconf in kdeadmin

[Nicolas Ternisien]

Hi all,

As noticed by Burkhard, KDE Admin module still hosts the knetworkconf
KCM configuration module, even if it is no longer used. It is indeed
totally replaced by KNetworkManager and D-Bus calls, where it used to
configure the network with scripts.

Depending on how much distributions and users still use it, we could
move it to extragear/playground or unmaintained branch. Question is:
do you have any idea about its current usage, and do you agree with
this move?

Thank you.

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

may be you should mail to kde-[core]-devel wrt knetworkconf?

If there are still any users of that kcm around (I'm not sure about that), a
better solution could be to move it out of kdeadmin to extragear/playground?
