Build-Tool Recipe Update: Quanta
After the work on kdevelop i noticed there is a bit of duplication between quanta and kdevelop. I therefore merged the two. Which means the webdev feature is no more. The parts are available as kdevelop plugins now.
I moved quanta to kdevelop/quanta. It is kind of unmaintained as far as i know so it is disabled by default. Unless you want to work on it i think it makes no sense to build it either. If you disagree please complain in the comments and i will update that post accordingly.
Do not forget to remove all old directories before rebasing your recipe. As usual (learning by repetition) the update cycle should be
# Fetch the newest changes and review the comments.
$ recipe incoming -f
[....]
# Make the required migration steps
$ module cleanup --rm-both webdev/
# Rebase your recipe
$ recipe incoming -r
[....]
# Enable new feature or modules, build ....

I don't know if it's relevant what I say now: I NEED QUANTA. It's the software I use for years for creating websites. Since Debian Squeeze doesn't have it in the repo, I had to build it from source which was kinda painful given the old version-dependency issues. But did it because it was worth trying for this software.

Sadly noone is willing to work on quanta. Therefore it is unlikely it will come back. The question is naturally which features of quanta you like. Perhaps it is possible to bring those into kdevelop.

Ow. I wish Quanta would return in some form, too. So this means it's just bit-rotting, but next to KDevelop?

I guess thats what it means. The php plugins are already in kdevelop. And since quanta always used kdevelop technology i guess the best way forward would be to find out what exactly kdevelop is missing.
And then add it to kdevelop.
