No, there's a spec file included in the script download. But that's not part
of the download from kde-files.org. For the scripts, since they're liable to
executed directly on a users system, I didn't want to have Tellico
downloading and running any and every script that got put on kde-files. So
as I have a chance, I scan new scripts, use the metadata from kde-files, and
add a download on periapsis.org that tellico will use. Essentially, the only
scripts that Tellico will download right now are ones that I repackage, and
digitally sign on periapsis.org. I don't make any guarantees about my own
knowledge of detecting security issues, but at least it doesn't leave the
door wide open.
There are still a few new scripts on kde-files in the last several months
that I have not added. There's no way to add a script on kde-files and have
it show up in Tellico without me repackaging and signing it first.
The configuration should be straight-forward, though. Most of the kde-files
listings show exactly what to put in the config box for the data sources.
Hope that helps!
