AppWizard IRC Discussion

[Paul Drummond]

Hi Guys!

After an interesting discussion on #kdevelop the other night regarding an 
effort to simplify AppWizard, I got to thinking and have the following 
questions:

1.  Can anyone (specifically teatime or geiseri!) please explain the bad 
points of the current system, other than the perl dependency.  I am not very 
familiar with how it all works, put the perl scripts seem quite 
simple.  Each script calls a couple of standard perl methods then installs
the necessary files.  The standard install() method seems to do the variable 
substitution for you.  So, as a template designer, what can be done to 
simplify this?

2. Could someone (geiseri maybe?) please explain in simple terms the idea 
mentioned during the IRC discussion that would apparently greatly simplify 
AppWizard, and maybe comment on how it would simplify it.

Cheers,
Paul Drummond
