Warning

Things you see here are work in progress. Please don't trust them.

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 namespaced this way: $appname-$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?

    • (optional) Icon
