From kde-pim Sun Oct 06 13:34:29 2013 From: Thorsten Staerk Date: Sun, 06 Oct 2013 13:34:29 +0000 To: kde-pim Subject: [Kde-pim] future of ktimetracker Message-Id: <1ba80cde3fab8bae490e8cee9a65ba60 () mail ! staerk ! de> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-pim&m=138106648612783 Hi, since some years I am lagging behind with the development of ktimetracker. It's always the same scenario: A good idea or relevant bug report comes in. Some months later I have a weekend for working on it. First thing is to get ktimetracker compile. Each time I am learning something new. Sometimes soprano is a dependency of kdelibs that is a dependency of the latest kdepimlibs that is a dependency of the latest kdepim. Sometimes I cannot compile because nepomuk which is/was a part of kdelibs was not compiled. It's always a different reason and always the same. In the end my weekend is spent, and not well spent, on getting kdepim to compile, not on fixing bugs or adding features. This is why I am very proud to announce qtimetracker [1] will be the successor of ktimetracker. qtimetracker has been developed already since several years (originally for the Nokia N810), and I have an active co-contributor. I have been thinking back and forth about Joel's great article [2] but I lost all motivation going forward with the fight against dependencies or good old kdepim. I would be happy if qtimetracker could stay a part of KDE PIM because of the great community, you. What do you think?
