Hi, as I claimed just now on the neighbor thread, I'm working on the move tdehwlib out of tdecore. why so: 1. it provides specific functionality. 2. Only few apps are using it. 3. It's not integrated into tdecore except of couple unnecessary and ugly hacks to KInstace. 4. It's code is too robust while it's located in a single file. What changes are introduced: 1. TDEHW namespace for all exported classes. 2. Some specific macros. 3. Move includes to tdehw directory. 4. Strip TDE prefix from classes and file names. What is already done: 1-4. 5. Split tdehardwaredevices.{h,cpp} into several headers 6. repair tdebase according to the changes What is to be done before merging the changes: 1. Repair any other modules. (Is there any?) 2. Some repair is needed to tdenetworkconnections.{cpp,h} and to modules which use it. 3. Testing. Further plans: 1. Introduce the backend framework. On first stage in the most basic way. 2. Split tdenetworkconnections.cpp in the same way it was done for tdehardwaredevices. The repositories are here: https://github.com/Fat-Zer/tdelibs.git https://github.com/Fat-Zer/tdebase.git See libtdehw branch. !WARNING! It supposed to be built and work but my be broken in some options. Some questions: Is there any ather modules outside tdebase which use tdehw? Is there anything what uses tdenetworkconnections? Any other thoughts?
