I was previously working on Macaw-Movies (already in the KDE Community) and, after a while, I felt really alone and wasn’t so sure if a movie organizer still made sense in this all-connected time, where you can stream whatever you are interested in.<\/p>\n

I finally went to the Amarok guys, cloned the source and began to help to port it to the Frameworks.<\/p>\n

The plan<\/h3>\n

Aroonav (roguedragon) did his GSoC on this topic [1]<\/a>. And I catch up at the end of August.<\/p>\n

What is the plan? In theory it was this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Remove all KDELibs from the dependencies<\/li>\n
  2. Port the CMakeLists.txt<\/li>\n
  3. Get to 100% of build
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Start the program without segmentation faults<\/li>\n
  5. Port the tests<\/li>\n
  6. Release and Party<\/li>\n
  7. When sober again, port out of KDELibs4Support<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In practice, build 100% is quite hard because as you may know, Amarok has a context part (in the middle by default) that relies comprehensively on Plasma (from KDELibs) and QGraphics(Item|Scene|...)<\/kbd>. This whole thing must be totally rewritten, from scratch, in QML. And that’s a hell of a work!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

    I decided at a certain point to directly port the main components out of KDELibs4Support. No more KUniqueApplication<\/kbd> but a puzzle between KDBus<\/kbd> and QApplication<\/kbd>.<\/p>\n

    Where are we now?<\/h3>\n

    Currently we did until 4 (no segmentation faults anymore) but didn’t port the context part. I still have troubles with D-Bus and Amarok cannot exit without being killed.<\/p>\n

    The unit tests are almost ported [2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    What is the next step?<\/h3>\n

    I’m quite ashamed to say it but I’m always postponing the porting of the context part. I’ve never done any QML in my life, and I think I’ll have a hard time. That’s why I worked on the unit tests, and I’m still tracking some bugs in the current state of the porting.<\/p>\n

    Before August, I was always writing pure Qt, and never touched to KDELibs nor the Frameworks. I learned a lot of things, thanks to #kde-devel<\/kbd> and the kde-devel mailing list. I often felt stupid as dfaure<\/i> or tsdgeos<\/i> redirected me to Techbase (because I didn’t know how to setup a good working environment for instance), or when I asked a question which answer was totally obvious… And I think it’s not going to stop before some time.<\/p>\n

    So see you around,<\/p>\n

    Cheers and have fun!<\/p>\n
