Main

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

Typically this is /???

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
