For more information read here

Dependencies

Qt >= 5.0.0 with at least the following modules is required:

• qtbase
• qtdeclarative

The following modules and their dependencies are required:

• ECM >= 1.7.0

Installation

From the root of the repository, run:

mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON
make
make install # use sudo if necessary

On the cmake line, you can specify additional configuration parameters:

• -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install (for example, /opt/qtaccountsservice or /usr)
• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<build_type>, where <build_type> is one of:
  • Debug: debug build
  • Release: release build
  • RelWithDebInfo: release build with debugging information

qtaccountsservice's Issues

API Review

Review the API.

• Remove unnecessary API see #11
• The API needs to be completely async see #9
• The library should be called libQt5AccountsService.so - in order to make it parallel installable with a future Qt 6 based version; includes directory and cmake package should also be Qt5AccountsService

Use new CMake macros for the library

This project was written when a lot of CMake stuff was not available and ECM was not usable.
These days we have nice macros to make libraries with config and generate camel case headers.

Unit tests

Flesh out unit tests for the API.

• Test AccountsManager
• Test UserAccount
• Test QML

It has the potential to lock up the entire plasma workspace session

I'm a bit concerned by the blocking calls in AccountsService here:
https://github.com/hawaii-desktop/qtaccountsservice/blob/master/src/accountsservice/accountsmanager.cpp#L107

That has the potential to lock up the entire plasma workspace session; which obviously isn't ideal.
Blocking calls are a problem if we can't rely on the remote service /always/ behaving.

Build documentation

Classes are already documented, but we need to use Doxygen or whatever and create html documentation.

Run static analyzer

Run a static analyzer and fix all issues.

Add QML plugin

Make the API available to the QML world.

Any hope of sending CI builds to bintray so people can use them?

It will look much better if I can use some pre-built versions for Ubuntu 12.04 in sddm/sddm#439

Split into two libraries

The UsersModel class introduce a hard-dependency on QtGui, we would probably split this addon in two libraries.
