Package: KMLDonkey
System name: kmldonkey
Type: non-GNU

Description:
KMLDonkey is a project that aims to fully integrate the mldonkey P2P software 
into the KDE desktop. It consists of various URL handlers for seamless 
integration of the ed2k protocol into KDE and a lightweight GUI frontend for 
the mldonkey core implemented as a KDE panel applet, with the option of 
evolving into a feature complete GUI which can replace mldonkey\'s current 
OCaml/Gtk+ GUI frontend on the KDE desktop, and, one hopes, add a few 
improvements to the concept. Eventually, one would hope to accomplish even 
tighter integration with KDE, such as a kioslave handler for mldonkey\'s 
current downloads.

In addition, the project provides a library and Qt style API for communicating 
with the mldonkey core, implemented using the Qt object model, which is 
available for use by other software that needs to communicate with a running 
mldonkey. Other language bindings for this library should eventually also be 
provided.

The implementation language is C++, using the KDE/Qt libraries. Currently, the 
ed2k protocol handler is written in Python, but it is to be replaced by a C++ 
implementation by the next upgrade release.

Target platforms should be anything KDE itself will run on, but it\'s developed 
and tested chiefly on Debian GNU/Linux.

Other Software Required:
KMLDonkey only depends on the kdelibs package (and whatever that needs to run, 
including, and especially, Qt). It has been developed for KDE 3.1 and Qt 3.1.1, 
but may work with earlier versions. Having mldonkey installed would also be 
sensible.
