New page

== KNewStuff 2 ==

[[/Users|Who uses KNewStuff2]]

== API Discussion ==
Classes will (mostly) be:
* [[/Packager|A packager/uploader]] (Plasmagik)
* [[/Handler|A Handler]] (Facility class created to manage files locally)
* [[/Downloader|A download GUI]] (Like the exixting one)
* [[/Manager|A package manager]] (Like SK package manager)
* [[/CompleteEntry|A class used to retrive *all* the information from a single entry]] (KNS::CompleteEntry)
* [[/Model|A model class to allow knewstuff integration into apps]] (It will contain all the informations availeable with the download dialog)

== PolishingWeek-end ==
===Bugs and regressions from 3.5===
* Unsorted is not needed as there's no other option
* No feedback when something is downloaded, the user does not know when it is finished. => kmail-style progress bars
**In ''CoreEngine::slotInstallationVerification(int result)'' signalInstallationFinished() and signalInstallationFailed() are emitted but not connected anywhere.
* No feedback in the dialog that some items are already present (was done in 3.5 in the app by writing in config stuff entries then KNS picked that and displayed a green tick in the list)
** In KDE 3.5 this code is in ''void DownloadDialog::install(Entry *e)'' in ''downloaddialog.cpp''
* The display of the list is slow, way slower than in KDE 3.5

===To implement===
* Upload
* Engine Interface
* fix blocking / simple API

===Programs using KNS for KDE 4.0===
* Edu progs: KAnagram, KHangMan, KLettres, KStars, Parley, KWordQuiz
* Kate
* System Settings: used it for background in KDE 3, there's no background module now because plasma came. Plasma's wallpaper configuration dialog integrates KNS2.
* Kopete is looking into a tight integration for KDE 4.1, KNS is disabled for 4.0 however.

== 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 [[/Layout|here]].

== Results of the IRC meeting / Tasklist ==

=== TODO ===

* NN: link classes directly to tests to prevent unnecessary KNEWSTUFF_EXPORTs
* NN: use multi-threading in the download dialogue to speed up the display
* NN: explore KNS::Engine::cleanup() and why it isn't present
* Josef: indicate entry's status (e.g. installed) in the entry list

=== DONE ===

* Josef: [http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/knewstuff2/knewstuff-polishing branches/work/knewstuff2/knewstuff-polishing]
* Josef: re-enable test apps using cmake TEST parameter
* Josef: move KDXSView class from the library to the tests
* Dennis: Improve argument parsing for InstallCommand directive in .knsrc files (don't break whitespaces) and quote filename arguments (%f)
* Josef: add kmail-style progress bars for async download indication
** mostly finished (http://new.kstuff.org/~josef/kns-progress2.png) except for cancellation
* Jeremy: hardcode m_localregistrydir as configuring it through *.knsrc is not needed
