AVEZ-VOUS BESOIN DE CE LIVRE ? Vous devriez lire ce livre si vous voulez développer pour KDE. Nous utilisons le terme développement très largement pour couvrir tout ce qui peut conduire à un changement dans le code source, ce qui inclut : Soumettre une correction de bogue Écrire une nouvelle application optimisée par la technologie KDE Contribuer à un projet existant Ajouter de la fonctionnalité aux bibliothèques de développement de KDE Dans ce livre, nous vous livrerons les bases dont vous avez besoin pour être un développeur productif. Nous décrirons les outils que vous devrez installer, montrer comment lire la documentation (et écrire la vôtre propre, une fois que vous aurez créé la nouvelle fonctionnalité !) et comment obtenir de l'aide par d'autres moyens. Nous vous présenterons la communauté KDE, qui est essentielle pour comprendre KDE parce que nous sommes un projet « open source », libre (gratuit). Les utilisateurs finaux du logiciel n'ont PAS besoin de ce livre ! Cependant, ils pourraient le trouver intéressant pour les aider à comprendre comment les logiciels complexes et riches en fonctionnalités qu'ils utilisent ont vu le jour. 3 2. LA PHILOSOPHIE DE KDE Le succès de KDE repose sur une vue globale, que nous avons trouvée à la fois pratique et motivante. Les éléments de cette philosophie de développement comprennent : L'utilisation des outils disponibles plutôt que de ré-inventer ceux existants : beaucoup des bases dont vous avez besoin pour travailler font déjà partie de KDE, comme les bibliothèques principales ou les « Kparts », et sont tout à fait au point.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.

One single storage and retrieval system allows efficiency and extensibility not possible under KDE 3, where each PIM component had its own system. Note that use of Akonadi does not change data storage formats (vcard, iCalendar, mbox, maildir etc.) - it just provides a new way of accessing and updating the data.</p><p> The main reasons for design and development of Akonadi are of technical nature, e.g. having a unique way to ac- cess PIM-data (contacts, calendars, emails..) from different applications (e.g. KMail, KWord etc.), thus eliminating the need to write similar code here and there.</p><p> Another goal is to de-couple GUI applications like KMail from the direct access to external resources like mail-servers - which was a major reason for bug-reports/wishes with regard to perfor- mance/responsiveness in the past.</p><p> More info:</p><p> <a href=https://community.kde.org/KDE_PIM/Akonadi target=_top>Akonadi for KDE’s PIM</a></p><p> <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akonadi target=_top>Wikipedia: Akonadi</a></p><p> <a href=https://techbase.kde.org/KDE_PIM/Akonadi target=_top>Techbase - Akonadi</a> See Also "GUI".

    Specific Targeted Research Project Contract no.214898 Seventh Framework Programme: FP7-ICT-2007-1 Technical Report 0002 MANCOOSI Managing the Complexity of the Open Source Infrastructure Strong Dependencies between Software Components Pietro Abate ([email protected]) Jaap Boender ([email protected]) Roberto Di Cosmo ([email protected]) Stefano Zacchiroli ([email protected]) Universit`eParis Diderot, PPS UMR 7126, Paris, France May 24, 2009 Web site: www.mancoosi.org Contents 1 Introduction . .2 2 Strong dependencies . .3 3 Strong dependencies in Debian . .7 3.1 Strong vs direct sensitivity: exceptions . .9 3.2 Using strong dominance to cluster data . 11 3.3 Debian is a small world . 11 4 Efficient computation . 12 5 Applications . 13 6 Related works . 16 7 Conclusion and future work . 17 8 Acknowledgements . 18 A Case Study: Evaluation of debian structure . 21 Abstract Component-based systems often describe context requirements in terms of explicit inter-component dependencies. Studying large instances of such systems|such as free and open source software (FOSS) distributions|in terms of declared dependencies between packages is appealing. It is however also misleading when the language to express dependencies is as expressive as boolean formulae, which is often the case. In such settings, a more appropriate notion of component dependency exists: strong dependency. This paper introduces such notion as a first step towards modeling semantic, rather then syntactic, inter-component relationships. Furthermore, a notion of component sensitivity is derived from strong dependencies, with ap- plications to quality assurance and to the evaluation of upgrade risks. An empirical study of strong dependencies and sensitivity is presented, in the context of one of the largest, freely available, component-based system.
