KNewStuff 2 (aka Masnak?)

Warning

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

API Discussion

Classes will (mostly) be:

A packager/uploader (Plasmagik)
An Handler (Facility class created to manage files locally)
A download GUI (Like the exixting one)
A package manager (Like SK package manager)
A class used to retrive *all* the information from a single entry (KNS::CompleteEntry)
A model class to allow knewstuff integration into apps (It will contain all the informations availeable with the download dialog)

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.
Anything else?

Other

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