Detailed Description
This class provides the functionality to download and upload "new stuff".Applications have to subclass KNewStuff, implement the pure virtual functions and link to against libknewstuff.
By calling download() the download process is started which means that a list of "providers" is fetched from a "master server", information about new stuff is collected from the providers and presented to the user. Selected entries get downloaded and installed to the application. The required functions to install new stuff are provided by implementing install(). The location where the downloaded files are stored can be customized by reimplementing downloadDestination().
By calling upload() the upload process is started which means the user has to select a provider from the list fetched from the master server and to put in infomration about the entry to be uploaded. Then the file to be uploaded is fetched from the application by calling createUploadFile() and transfered to the upload destination specified in the provider list.

Install file to application. The given fileName points to the file downloaded by the KNewStuff engine. This is a temporary file by default. The application can do whatever is needed to handle the information contained in the file. The function returns true, when the installation was successful and false if were errors.
|
|
Create a file to be uploaded to a "new stuff provider" and return the filename. The format of the file is application specific. The only constraint is that the corresponding install() implementation is able to use the file.

|
Return a filename which should be used as destination for downloading the specified new stuff entry. Reimplement this function, if you don't want the new stuff to be downloaded to a temporary file. Definition at line 57 of file knewstuff.cpp. |
