+PACKAGING RECOMMENDATIONS
+-------------------------
+
+You might want to create 4 basic sub-packages from a build of the Okteta
+sources with all features enabled, besides the devel-packages.
+
+
+1. Okteta libraries for QWidget-based hex editing widgets
+
+LibOktetaCore and LibOktetaGui provide classes to have hex editing/viewing
+QWidgets in Qt-based applications, similar to what is possible with QTextEdit
+& QTextDocument.
+Supplemented with a Qt Designer plugin for the Okteta widgets.
+
+Proposed package description: "Hex editor/viewer QWidgets libraries"
+
+
+2. Kasten libraries
+
+Kasten is a WIP higher-level framework for composable document-centric
+applications. LibKastenCore, LibKastenGui & LibKastenControllers are the
+generic libraries. Due to its development state its still part of Okteta
+sources and not used in other published software AFAIK. Except for KDevelop,
+whose hex editor plugin is done using the Okteta Kasten libraries and
+therefore also Kasten libraries.
+
+So for now it makes sense to simply bundle both the generic Kasten libraries
+with the Okteta specific Kasten libraries, LibOktetaKastenCore,
+LibOktetaKastenGui, & LibOktetaKastenControllers.
+
+All the data files for the Structures tool belong also to this, as well as the
+s-m-i extension file.
+
+Known public user of these libs:
+* KDevelop for the hex editor plugin
+
+Proposed package description: "High-level hex editor/viewer framework libraries"
+Needs: 1.)
+
+
+3. Okteta app
+
+The actual hex editor program itself.
+
+Proposed package description: "Editor for the raw data of files"
+(please fix ancient package descriptions "editor for binary files" as this a bit wrongly limiting)
+Needs: 1.) 2.)
+(does _not_ use 4,)
+
+
+4. KParts plugin
+
+The oktetapart is a plugin for the KParts system. While KParts usage having
+declined in Qt5/KF5 era, at least Krusader makes explicit use of the plugin,
+other KParts software can get it when requesting a viewer for the MIME/media
+type application/octet-stream.
+
+Proposed package description: "Hex editing component for KParts"
+Needs: 1.) 2.)
