Hi all,
In the past weeks I have been working on a new framework, called KPackage.
(during Akademy seemed there was some interest for applications to use it)
It comes from the old classes Plasma::Package, so is actually old and tested
code.
It can be used by any application that wants to ship any additional "non-
binary" content, such as extension scripts, extra artwork, or anything that
for instance can be shipped via get hot new stuff.
It should be a Tier 2 framework, as depends from
karchive,kcoreaddons,ki18n,kconfig
Plasma::Package will become a simple dumb wrapper around KPackage for
retrocompatibility (and deprecated)
applications to use it should implement a little plugin for the package
structure, that tells where it should install stuff, what kind of content
supplies (for instance javascript files under the code/subdirectory)
and the Package class will offer an api to access files from it
there is also a simple little tool called kpackagetool that can be used to
install, remove and list packages.
I would like to submit it (kpackage repo) for the usual 2 weeks period of
review.
