[Kde-graphics-devel] libkface

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

Just to clarify some point :

- libkface is currently hosted in extragear/libs
- project page is here :
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/libs/libkface/
- API doc is here :
http://api.kde.org/extragear-api/libs-apidocs/libkface/libkface/html/index.html
- API is stabilized now. This is why KphotoAlbum project has started to use it.

Best

Gilles Caulier

> collisions if both KPA and Digikam would be installed and is perhaps not a
> good idea) or we would have to pull the full Digikam package as a dependency
