    Warning
    Things you see here are incomplete and totally a work in progress


    Who uses KNewStuff2

    API Discussion

    Classes will (mostly) be:

    Generic TODO

    • Rename KNS::Entry, and, consequentially, KNS::CompleteEntry

    What still needs to be done (getting rid of the above section)

    • Merge DXS and GHNS download dialogs. Also check with usability guys.
    • Add networking capabilities to Plasmagik.
    • Finish the code for the metadata generation.
    • The Handler, to locally manage packages.
    • Write a cache removal strategy, that should be the last bit of the networking stuff.
    • The CompleteEntry class, used also by the Handler, used to retrive all the availeable informations from an already downloaded package (needs to be written in a more detailed fashion)
    • Anything else?

    Other

    KNewStuff2 will store all the files in a specific dir. The layout of this dir, and all the related information can be found here.
