The rationale is explained in https://planet.kde.org/friedrich-kossebau-2023-06-28-include-also-moc-files-of-headers/
In case of KDEConnect, it impressively speeds up compilation. Before it
took 390 seconds on a clean build and with this change it took 330 seconds.
This is due to the mocs_compilation having to include the header files
and thus all their headers. Due to the lots of small plugins we have,
this means that the same headers must be compiled plenty of times.
When we include the moc files directly in the C++ file, they are already
available.
By removing the postfix we consistently use, we get exactly the same string as before
However, all our pluginId logic is now done as part of the buildsystem.
Before, they were in the JSON metadata, the buildsystem and the string constructor parameter
KPluginFactory has the KPluginMetaData object in any case, do using it
doesn't create any overhead.
This way we catch missing methods/mismatching arguments at compile and
not at runtime.
This fixes some Qt6 regressions due to the removal of deprecated methods.
We do not need those methods to be marked as slots and the KCMUtils
classes like KPluginWidget also don't need it.
Meaning it just results in more moc code being generated.
This makes it easier to read, because we do not have to handle a list of
files that get added to the targets. In other KDE projects, we also
prefer the target centric approach.
In case one wants to reuse the same category in multiple places, it
would be best to create a small static lib. But for now, this is not
needed.
The one derived from the filename is identical. Deriving it from the filename is the preferred approach.
In KF6, log messages are printed out if the Id is needlessly specified.
A mismatching Id vs basename would print out a warning.
The plugin version doesn't matter, because all plugins are shipped as
part of kdeconnect and not separately.
The website was also set inconsistently, some pointed to a custom blog,
the KDE homepage or a broken link. If we want to make announcements more
visible, we should have a link in a more central place.
In theory we support Qt 5.6 (because of SailfishOS) but in practice we are not checking that in the CI so probably we broke the compatibility long ago. Also, I don't think anyone is using this code in SailfishOS, so we can greatly simplify the code by requiring Qt 5.15 or later.
Plasma notification widget also uses the interface, and sometimes
notification ids can become out of sync between the two DBus adaptors.
BUG: 447385
FIXED-IN: 23.08
Better patch to replace !218.
- Auto and quick detection of previous D-Bus instance;
- Remove private D-Bus compile definition, only use it on macOS without an existing D-Bus instance;
- Safe reboot after crashes because the indicator is not relating on the kdeconnectd to run a D-Bus session;
- Safe exit after clicking on `Quit` in the systray.
More details in commit logs:
Only enable private D-Bus on macOS because the other platforms do not
need them.
The app should be able to easily detect the session bus from the env
DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET from launchd through launchctl.
Because https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/blob/master/dbus/dbus-sysdeps-unix.c#L4392
shows that it is the only probing method on macOS with launchd.
The D-Bus session bus can be easily found from launchd/launchctl
with DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET env. It can be an external one
(installed from HomeBrew) or an internal one (launched by a previous
instance followed by a crash).
The indicator helper on macOS can now automatically detect whether we can use a potentially
(with launchd/launchctl env set, or KDE Connect macOS
private_bus_address set) existed and usable session bus.
If previous bus is usable, just try to launch the kdeconnectd with us.
Otherwise, launch a private D-Bus daemon, export the launchd/launchctl
env, and run a kdeconnectd instance.
Everything works better and quicker now :)
We were using the plugin infrastructure to tell the name of the plugin
we were configuring.
Since this doesn't make any sense, just let the kcms themselves define
where they want their settings to be.
This fixes a regression from when we ported away from using KService to
list them. e365e1b35c
The moc process already rebuilds the plugin when the JSON file changes, consequently the additional parameter is not needed.
