KNewStuff library - application data sharing framework for KDE KNewStuff implements the "Get Hot New Stuff" (GHNS) architecture and provides KDE applications with easy-to-use upload and download mechanisms, with optional popularity counters, ratings, digital signatures, uncompression and post-installation DCOP/scripting hooks. * GHNS Standard and related software http://ghns.berlios.de/ * Documentation - API docs http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/cvs-api/knewstuff/html/ - KNewStuff tutorial http://www.kstuff.org/docs/tutorial/ - KNewStuffSecure tutorial http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/knewstuffsecure/ * Repositories Currently, about 7 repositories exist for a variety of KDE applications using KNewStuff for either download or upload or both. Please have a look at the repository browser: -> http://www.kstuff.org/hotstuff/index.php?p=browser If you want automatic upload processing, download counting and administration capabilities, as well as a web frontend, check out the Hotstuff scripts: -> http://www.kstuff.org/source/index.php?p=cvs For testing, feel free to use the kstuff.org infrastructure, as it is up and running 24x7. * Future Immediate plans: - merge download dialog engine functionality into the engine class - incremental updates of directories, including cache - after installation, return QStringList of installed items so no scanning will be necessary anymore - how to "fake" installations? (suggestions from TSDgeos) knewstuff should know about already installed items Future plans: - kick-ass web interface with history and contributions - integration with KDE SOAP messaging framework and KWSDL to access DXS - hm.... :-) Josef Spillner, 01.04.2004, last updated 07.06.2005 Add d pointers to ALL public classes for KDE 4 or maintaining binary compatibility is a nightmare. 12/3/05.
