This simplifies building a decoration plugin. Now one can do:
find_package(KDecorations REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
to find the decorations library.
REVIEW: 116013
It's basically a run of the port-cmake.sh script in here, mostly the changes
are the following:
- Using KF5::* targets
- Using the proper macros, following recent developments in frameworks
With 4933f08ae49328e36e2654434d28917310882ee5 the KDecorationBridge
interface became public to allow Compiz to easily implement the class.
From a KWin perspective this change did not make much sense. The Bridge
is meant to be the interface towards KWin. It is an internal interface
and exporting it doesn't change the fact that it is internal.
The change got introduced in a time when it was still common to use
Compiz in the kde-workspaces. This has changed. None of the top ten
distributions on distrowatch are shipping the integration parts of Compiz
in an up to date version. Most distros are still on Compiz 0.8, which
requires manual patching to keep up with changes in the decoration API.
Distros on Compiz 0.9 are not shipping the KDE integration - this
includes Ubuntu.
Given this development it is no longer justified to have additional work
on KWin side and because of that the API which should be internal is
marked as internal again.
In case Compiz is still interested in providing the kde-window-decorator
the header file can easily be pulled from our repository. In addition
this patch includes a method
int decoration_bridge_version()
which returns the current bridge API version. Kde-window-decorator can
resolve this method and verify that the version is not higher than what
is supported. The version number is provided in kdecoration.h by the
define KWIN_DECORATION_BRIDGE_API_VERSION. We will increate the version
number once per release in case the bridge changed. 4.11 will have the
version number 1.
This change in behavior has been discussed and agreed in [1].
The change also unexports KDecorationBridgeUnstable. This class should
have never been exported, it was incorrect and the parent class had not
been exported anyway. This is just a note to indicate that it is not an
ABI break and there is no reason to increase the so number.

The KDecoration library lives in libkdecorations/ now.
Installation pathes are unchanged, so this does not influence 3rd party
decorations.
The changes in the KWin main directory are required due to incorrect
includes.
