Only slightly off-topic.
I'm still working on QTKit to bring a more-cocoa framework for
Quicktime. The project I have now (not yet commited) has several
targets, one being the framework itself and others being applications
which demonstrate its use.
One of the issues I have now is how to name the version when this part
is over, if it should be 0.2 or 0.11 or 0.15. What's been added are a
QTKitMovie, QTKitTrack, and a new app like a QTPlayer. Next on the list
is a QTSlider (yes I'm still not finished with that, it's really harder
to get into it than I thought and I have to thank cocoa-dev teams at
Apple because making such things is really not easy).
Second thing has to do with framework versions
(blabla.framework/versions). What use is this and where do I found doc
on this? To be used, the framework has to be installed, and I don't want
to mess afterwards with version problems. On the same matter, is getting
the version as simple as defining a version in the topmost header and
asking the framework what version it uses?
Also on the same matter, what are the situations that influence the
distribution of a framework by itself vs distribution with the app that
uses it? I hope (inginument I would say) that the framework should be
used by several apps and maybe putting it in /Library/frameworks or
/System/Library will eventually make it user to use.
At last, a framework is pretty useless with proper documentation (spent
hours reading OF code to figure what was happening). Is docbook (` la
Darwin) the way to go? Are there apps to ease redaction of docbooks and
others to transform it to easily accessible html documentation? Are
there rules or examples I could take experience from?
Thanks for your comments.
Cyril
