= Proposed Self Contained Change: Plasma-nm = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Plasma-nm
Change owner(s): Jan Grulich jgrulich@redhat.com, Lukáš Tinkl ltinkl@redhat.com
Replace current network applet in KDE with a new one and bring the latest news in NetworkManager to KDE.
== Detailed description == Plasma-nm is a new plasma applet for network management in KDE which uses the latest KDE technologies. It supports all connection types from NetworkManager like bonding, bridging etc. and it's simplier to maintain it than the old one. It absoletes the old network applet which is hardly maintainable.
== Scope == This feature affects only KDE. The only necessary action is to remove and obsolete the kde-plasma-networkmanagement package and ensure that kde-plasma- nm is installed by default. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce

... and all types of VPN?

One thing we're going to be working on upstream is a more agnostic way for VPN plugins to present their configuration UI, since there are multiple things that need this information, including command-line programs. I'm not sure yet how that will get presented, but likely in some form of UI description files that can be easily parsed by whatever UI you've got and the widgets reconstructed. We've come to the point where it's increasingly hard to keep duplicating the UI logic every time updated UI happens. This would ideally help the KDE folks too as they wouldn't have to write completely new VPN UI for each plugin.

Yes, and even more than the older applet: http://developer.kde.org/~lukas/screenshots/plasma-nm-vpn.png

This would definitely be a very welcome addition; we already have a similar mechanism for parsing the OpenConnect auth dialogs, having some well-defined XML/JSON description would be a big bonus

What is the schedule for this Change? As with other significant changes to release-blocking DEs, it'd be very much preferable to have it in by Alpha.

We plan to do the (first) official release by the end of this week and immediately import it into fedora git repos. Rawhide has contained git snapshots until now.
