What it is
----------

kdesupport is a SVN module that is intended for code that is used
within KDE, and hosted by KDE, but is also used by applications that
are not part of KDE. It is expected to be mostly libraries that do not
have any kdelibs dependencies.

What it used to be
------------------

It used to be a copy of important libraries that were required for
building KDE, but weren't part of KDE (eg libxml). Each library in
kdesupport had a master copy that lived somewhere else - having those
libraries in kdesupport was just a convenience for KDE
developers. This is no longer done.

What is included
----------------

* taglib (TagLib) - a library for reading and editing the meta-data of several
popular audio formats (eg MP3, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC).
* qca (QCA) - QCA aims to provide a straightforward and cross-platform
crypto API, using Qt datatypes and conventions. Depends on Qt.
  The qca repository is no longer consistent with KDE trunk.
  Please install the qca2.0.0 package from your distribution or
  build from source if you want to use qca with KDE trunk.

* TODO: other dirs are missing here

Reporting bugs
--------------

Bugs should be reported to the normal KDE bug tracking system at
http://bugs.kde.org.
