From kde-core-devel Wed May 16 08:17:46 2001 From: Alessandro Praduroux Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 08:17:46 +0000 To: kde-core-devel Subject: Re: What's the deal with kdedb? X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=99000106601023 There are 2 things that must be considered IMHO 1 - KDEDB core libraries (kdbcore and kdbui) 2 - apps in kde using the actual KDEDB libraries For the libs, probably the best bet is using the QT ones, provided that they have the same feature list ( one thing that comes to mind is the meta information about the database, that is in kdedb but I dunno if it's in QT) the apps (actually only the ioslave, IIRC, and a small test app that is in kdenonbeta) can be rewritten if we go for the qt library, there's not a big installed base for now. but Alex is right, NOW is the moment to decide to keep kdedb or to drop it and wait for QT3/KDE3. One thing that must be considered in this discussion is that I have a very limited time now, and if we want to keep KDEDB we must find a new mantainer for it, 'cause if we put it in KDE2.2, we will get bug reports from programmers and someone must take care of it. I can help of course, but I don't think I can do it 'full time' now. Opinions?
