We can't afford to to-and-fro on this any further.
I'm suggesting to not make it a framework yet. We can ship it in kde/workspace or whereever it is now for the time being. Vishesh said he's already working on cleaning out the Xapian dependency, I hope it can become a proper framework when that is complete. I'm not in a position to veto it nor do I want that kind of responsibility, this is /just/ my opinion on the matter and I hope it's taken as input for a wise decision that we don't regret later on. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
