Just found another plasmoid worth getting into the repo (I think)

What is this plasmoid stuff all about? Is it documented anywhere?
The Fedora Weekly News used to have short articles about this sort of thing, but nowadays it seems to be taken up with bureaucratic stuff about committee meetings, etc.

Plasmoids are very much like superkaramba widgets - in fact many superkaramba widgets still work.

Those are those fancy widgets you can put on your desktop. Normally you're also supposed to be able to put them on the panel, but not all support the small form factor.

Doesn't the plasma applet support a centralized repo for those plasmoids?

Yes. Applets can be downloaded through "Get Hot New Stuff" but that only works for scripts and portable binaries. Things like C/C++ can not be downloaded like that because they would require compiling locally. Those are the plasmoids that should potentially be packaged for Fedora if they are useful.

Seems like it would be useful to hack that to use PackageKit and get everything from there ... not that I am volunteering.

It actually seems like its something thats doable. The cmake parameters would all be the same. So a script to auto create a spec and build seems to be something that could be programmed if the programmer was clever enough. I guess that it would be a cool wish list thing for now.

You'd still have to package it for Fedora, PackageKit could only be used to integrate the package installation into GetHotNewStuff.

Oh yes. I'm aware of that... much better than dloading random files. Ideally, things like Firefox could all plug into Packagekit.
Anyways, this is an idea for if/when I have time
