[Kexi-devel] What's new in KReport & KProperty & Predicate

[Jaroslaw Staniek]

Hi,
There's a number of new commits in the temporary repos [0].
A short update and proposed plans.
Let's make them work, test them so they're not blockers for porting
Kexi anymore.

(we're assuming KF5 frameworks are installed from packages or built
with the great kdesrc-build tool [1])

KProperty:
- builds and installs
- includes changes from Adam [2]
- includes all changes from calligra/2.9
- headers install to include/KProperty

KReport:
- includes changes from Adam [3]
- TODO: more build would work if "find_package(KProperty REQUIRED)" works
- TODO: add the central CMakeLists.txt, like in KProperty, for now we
have to build kreport/src/.
- TODO: install headers to include/KReport

Predicate:
- not much recently, needs more patches ported from calligra/2.9,
please help with this
- soon also this [4]

All three:
- TODO: dig in their central CMakeLists.txt files to make them
configure similarly to KF5 packages so line such as "find_package(....
REQUIRED)" adds necessary include path for the users of the libs;
volunteers needed here
- TODO: once we have all three usable, porting scripts will be in use
- Note: no calligra activities from the 'frameworks' branch of
calligra affect these 3 libs because the 'frameworks' branch no longer
contains their code (so no merges from 'frameworks' are expected, only
small merges by hand for bugfixes from calligra/2.9)
