Re: KNetworkManager

Don't want to flame here but I really don't understand Novell and Opensuse folk here... why Danny Kukawa (knetworkmanager maintainer, hal developer) simply ignores Solid? KNM, as a KDE4 app, should only rely on Solid, and if something is missing in Solid to make this possible, development should be driven towards this goal. As far as I can tell reading Danny's blog, KDE news etc etc, this is not happening right now. Am I wrong? (I hope I am)

Maybe it's just an issue of time... They might get this into solid for KDE 4.1 or 4.2?

I don't think he is. It's probably just a case of Solid being in a working state where KNM can use that instead of NM directly.

that has been answered. Solid is not at a point where OpenSUSE can use it for their upcoming release

So why OpenSuse doesn't put some of its employees working on Solid? (well, they could have started months ago, actually). IMO, Solid is something distro should just fall in love with, cause it can make system management integration much simpler.

I agree, but seriously since Novell took over there was even more coding support for Novell-specific stuff. Fragmenting a community even more.

With KDE this would be so much better, because KDE is distro-agnostic - if it works on KDE, it will work on distros (with a little bit of tweaking sometimes)
