Notes of the qbs session
What happened since the last Qt contributor’s summit?
1.1
- nested projects
- robust change tracking
- stable API for IDEs
- documentation was extended a lot
1.2
- rules w/ flexible number of outputs (IDL, flex)
- special moc code removed
Future plans
- full Android support == combining builds/packaging! (1.3)
- implement the missing features for supporting the utterly complex Qt 5 module system
- source modules (.pri files in qmake)
- support for external build systems (external project in cmake)
- configure phase build probes
- action targets (e.g. make docs)
- meta-issue QBS-70 collects those and some more
Discussion
- Estimated goal for being able to fully build Qt modules is 5.6.
- Simon suggested to support Linux containers (https://linuxcontainers.org/) for package creation. We agreed that it’s nice to have, but low priority.
- The “problem of bootstrapping” is a non-issue, according to Ossi. It’s just work. :)
