KRDC (KDE Remote Desktop Connection) - UI Redesign and overall revamp
This SoC project is going to improve KRDC. For more informations please read the SoC application information [1]. This page should give you a short overview about the project roadmap and progress. You can probably also find updates on my blog[2]
Project Plan
My aim in this project will be to completely overhaul KRDC. This will include the following points:
First part
- make KRDC functional under Qt4 / KDE4
- rework the user interface, almost certainly providing a tabbed interface (#136049)
- clean up the code to make it more maintainable (mainly user interface code, adopting clean KDE 4 / Qt4 conventions, and look to reduce duplicate code - for example, the SmartPtr implementation)
- provide better integration into the KDE desktop (for example, #123346, better kwallet integration)
- update vnc part (consider using external lib or update at least to a more recent version) (#59026)
Second part
- consider points listed on http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Krdc+Roadmap
- close as many issues (bugs/feature requests) as possible. Priority issues are:
- #136049 RFE: use tabbed interface
- #59026 Synchronize KRDC with LibVNCClient
- #103934 Support for more rdesktop options
- #123346 Dock icons not themeable
- #124082 remember and suggest the last visited address
- #116934 "report bug" entry missing
- #108619 Special Keys button in full screen mode
- #121146 window title should include host connection type
- #132367 kwallet integration only stores the password, username needed as well for some viewers
-> Some other issues should be easy to resolve (or will be resolved automatically together with other bugs - e.g. after VNC update).
- update / rewrite user documentation
Code
You can find the code in KDE SVN; /trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/krdc[3]
(Recently moved from /branches/work/soc-krdc[4])
Compiling
Of course you need a working and up-to-date kdelibs environment for building KRDC. To setup the correct environment to compile KRDC please follow the instructions at Getting_Started/Build.
As KRDC is included in kdenetwork it will be installed as part of this package.
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdenetwork
cd kdenetwork
cmakekde
</syntaxhighlight>
If you don't want to compile all of kdenetwork, you can do the following steps:
svn co -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdenetwork
cd kdenetwork
svn up krdc
svn up cmake
cmakekde
</syntaxhighlight>
To compile the original soc-krdc code:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/soc-krdc
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR ..
make
make install
</syntaxhighlight>
Dependencies
For RDP support rdesktop is needed. This is a runtime dependence.
For VNC support libvncclient (libvncserver) is required (<=0.9).
