KHexEdit
by Xanadu on Thursday 10/Jan/2008, @10:57

"KHexEdit moved to the unmaintained module."

What exactly does that mean (besides what it says... :-) )? Does that mean there is no hex editor "built into" KDE? I'm aware that it's not like that's the only hex editor out there, but, having one just "simply there" sure has been a handy thing for a good number of years now.

Just wondering.

Thanx.
M.

Okteta is there and is maintained and developed.

It means KDE 4.0 does not include a hex editor, as the old one is not maintained and not fully ported. For KDE 4.1 Okteta should be ready to jump in, it currently misses only a "few" things to match KHexEdit featurewise. Until then you can still run KHexEdit from KDE3 just fine inside a KDE4 environment. Seems like the fate with a .0 version of foundation libraries, as KRegExpEditor and others have similar problems, see http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Module_Status.

Still anyone is free to revive KHexEdit if she wants to.

Who is "she"? And why isn't she already working on KHexEdit if it's obvious that she should?

She is the female of the species (more deadly than the male - Kipling). Since hex editors allow dangerious things that are really hard to do any other way, hex editors are clearly more suited to female developers.

As for why she isn't working on it already, it isn't obvious that she should, just that she could.

Note, I posted the above without reading other threads. Understand that above was written entirely in humor. There are serious questions about why more females don't contribute to KDE/software/technial projects as much as men. That doesn't mean we should lose our sense of humor about the situation.
