Hi, Go to #qt-labs on Freenode and people might be able to help you with Git/Gerrit. If you don't find anyone able to help you, ping me (sahumada) and I will be happy to help. Cheers, [facts]: just check "[Development] typo in docs" email, it took just three hours to realize how Gerrit works and get the typo patch integrated. -- Sergio Ahumada Mobile Phones Middleware - Quality Engineering http://wikis.in.nokia.com/QtQualityEngineering _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
