Is this thing tde or is this thing kde3++?
What is the
status of renaming from 'k_whatever' to
't_whatever'? Are we at a
point where all that will be done is done? Obviously, this
effects building and
packaging. For instance tdebase still contains all the 'k'
applications:
Check etherpad for the status of renaming.
Tim said he is not going to rename everything unless there are legal or license
requirements to do so. With that said, there have been and are several bug reports
addressing what needs to be renamed specifically to avoid conflicts with KDE4.
A few apps I'd like to see renamed are kde-config, kde-menu, and khelpcenter.
The latter especially because I am working on updating all help files. From the user
perspective I can edit the underlying docbook files to avoid displaying
"khelpcenter," but I would like to see all khelpcenter references renamed to
tdehelpcenter. Like other renaming efforts, such as kdm -> tdm, renaming khelpcenter
requires a focused effort and not just a simple search-and-replace.
I am not demanding anything be renamed right now. Renaming everything that has a
"k" prefix is a huge task and one not to be considered lightly. Renaming some
apps and commands makes sense, but I am not in favor of wholesale changes right now.
Possibly as an R15 goal but for R14, I wish people would get more involved in resolving
current outstanding bug reports. :)
