Main

KNewStuff 2 will have all its files in one dir, one for each app using it. Default will be KStandardDirs::locate("appdata", "addons").

To initialize it call Handler::initLayout();

NOTE: .desktop (metadata) files will be copied in $KDEHOME/services/. You can use KTrader to locate them. They will be in the form of: $appname-$pkgname-$pkgversion-addon.desktop

Packages will be renamed as: $pkgname-$pkgversion.kns

And the file containing release notes will be called $pkgname-$pkgversion.txt

Layout

The following layout will be used:

addons/ <-- Note: this name may change
- installed-list <-- List of installed packages?
- May we store here infos/configs that applies appwide?
- $packageName-$packageVersion/
  - metadata file (see the packager section for additional informations)
  - (optional) Icon
  - (optional) Release notes for package
- $packageName2-$packageVersion2/
  - metadata file
  - (optional) Icon
  - (optional) Release notes for package2
- Packages/
  - package.kns
  - package2.kns
- ...
