The Nepomuk Situation

[ivan.cukic at gmail.com]

Maybe there could be something like qt has - BEGIN_NEPOMUK_NAMESPACE... So that if the same needs to be done in the future, we could just change the macro value.

I don't know, thinking that Nepomuk2 namespace is looking rather ugly :)

The dirtiest solution library-wise would be to have everything in NepomukCore::Nepomuk::Something so that the only change in the current code of nepomuk users would be a using namespace NepomukCore;

Sorry for being a bit vague, I'm writing from my phone.

Cheerio,

I already experienced that. Took me a while to find the reason.


Alright.

I would like the Nepomuk2 namespace and include directories be removed for the frameworks, but I guess it is not a big deal if that doesn't happen.

Okay, everyone. This is the point where you chime in and say - "We're okay with this" or you raise your objections. We would like to get this mess sorted in time for the 4.9 release.
