Hello all, I've realized a bit ago that kspeech was not included in the kdelibs split (probably because it was in staging at the time and didn't conform to the other framework policies yet). I've cleaned it up a bit and put it in my scratch space, but have some architectural questions about it before I make it a proper framework.
1. The KSpeech dbus interface is old and showing its age. Many of the methods are no longer implemented in the application itself since it was ported to speech-dispatcher. One thing I would definitely like to do is clean up/remove methods that aren't implemented currently (and possibly re add some later on if speech-dispatcher gets better/more support for job control, etc.) So the question about this is is KF5 time a good time to drop/clean up the dbus interface? 2. The KSpeech interface that was in kdelibs/interfaces is just that a dbus interface only. I would like to make it a proper library/framework with a QObject based class for talking to Jovie (the application that implements the KSpeech dbus interface) and wonder if other things such as what's currently in jovie/libkttsd should be in the kspeech library also. If I move code from jovie into libkspeech (or merge kspeech interface into libkttsd and make libkttsd a framework likely renamed to libkspeech since libkttsd isn't a public library anyway and has the old ktts name) what's the best way to preserve the history of both the kspeech interface and libkttsd sources. Didn't the plasma or kde-workspaces split do something fancy with git where old history pointed to the old git repo somehow? Along with this, if libkspeech is defining the kspeech dbus interface and has a class to talk to that interface, does the interface still need to be in servicetypes like the dbustexttospeech.desktop file that was installed in /usr/share/kde4/servicetypes in kde4 times? thanks, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
