Hi Jeremy,

Well, it is part of the official documentation for ECM, in api.kde.org, so it
*ought* to be up-to-date, but there is no date or version number AFAICS.
What makes you think it is outdated?

Heh, heh.  It could be better written and explain things more, I agree… :-)

I guess if you use -DKDE_INSTALL_FULL_DATAROOTDIR=… all the shared
data directories will follow the <appname> directories like Bo Peep's sheep.

BTW the names in square brackets in [2], such as DATA_INSTALL_DIR, are
supposed to be deprecated, but I see some recently-ported KF5 apps are still
using them in CMakeLists.txt.  Should they be using KDE_INSTALL_DATADIR,
KDE_INSTALL_KXMLGUI5DIR, etc.?

Cheers, Ian W.
