Git branch switchover - Step 1

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi!

Just to let you know that we're - finally - getting serious about
producing an official KF5 version of RKWard (more details, soon). As
part of the preparations, I'm switching over the git branches as
follows:

master     - will be switched to the KF5 version of RKWard
kde4       - new branch to keep the KDE4 versions of RKWard available
frameworks - will be deleted

Now in order not to cause avoidable breakage, I'm proceeding stepwise.
For now, the new branch "kde4" has been created, but master is not yet
changed. IF YOU HAVE ANY SCRIPTS / DAILY BUILDS / TOOLS BASED ON
CURRENT MASTER: Please switch those over to the kde4-branch as soon as
possible. I will be merging frameworks into master around Wednesday
this week, at which point existing scripts would probably break.

---- Call for help ----

This is just one out of many inevitable "bureaucratic nuisances". As
developer time is scarce, most of it is currently being eaten up by
tasks like this, while hardly anything is left over to actually advance
the project (and it's not for a lack of ideas). Can you help? One of
the areas that is particularly time-consuming is preparing packages for
our releases. This includes various Linux distributions (including the
debian package that I'm maintaining thus far), but also Mac and Windows
builds.

If you can "adopt" one of these, i.e. make sure RKWard can be built on
that platform, that it gets basic pre-release testing, and deal with
whatever formalities are needed to include it in a distribution, that
could be a significant contribution to the project.

Thanks!
Thomas
