[Panel-devel] Superkaramba Qt4 Port

[Vinay Khaitan]

Hi people,

[mX] told me that superkaramba port has not happened and it doesn't compile 
with qt4, so I can help with it.
I started doing the same. Ran qt3to4 porting tool and then using Qt3Support 
layer, I started changing code manually to make it compile(with keeping an 
eye over changed KdelIbs api like kdatastream.h).
Then I happen to talk to werr in #superkaramba and he told me that there is 
no use of porting it to Qt4 so, as most of it will be rewritten, when 
integrating with plasma. So I finally left doing that.
But Half of that was already done. If any one is interested in that, get it 
from
http://k.domaindlx.com/vkhaitan/superkaramba.tar.bz2 .
files ported are 

bar.o cpusensor.o imagelabel_python.o memsensor.o programsensor.o 
sensorparams.o textfilesensor.o
bar_python.o datesensor.o karamba.o meter.o richtextlabel.o sensorsensor.o 
textlabel.o
clickarea.o disksensor.o karambarootpixmap.o meter_python.o 
richtextlabel_python.o showdesktop.o textlabel_python.o
clickmap.o graph.o karambasessionmanaged.o networksensor.o rsssensor.o 
taskmanager.o uptimesensor.o
(35 files)

(put .cpp instead of .o)

I found when talking with werr, that Most of the trouble now is that Design 
is not finalized. We dont know what will remain, what will be ousted. The 
previoius task I left because of the same reason, because Design would be 
different.

In my personal opinion, after akademy is finished, we should first make a 
clear outline of design of kicker,kdesktop,superkaramba integration(possibly 
with full flow chart and tentative class hierarchy). It will help people 
like me to understand what developers have things in mind.
Thanks
