The way this worked for Symbian (AFAIK) was that they were pushing their changes to 4.8 and once they were integrated they cherry-pick them into their branch. I don't think this was meant to have their own changes without being in the 4.8 branch first. >> The thing is for BlackBerry 10 we are working as close to upstream (i.e. >> 4.8 branch) as possible, but due to some features we needed that are >> hard to get into 4.8 (e.g. >> https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,39135) and turnaround time for >> getting patches into Qt 4 (+ getting them into Qt 5 first), it would be >> good if we had an own dedicated branch for it. >> >> We could point people to it in case they want to compile Qt themselves >> for BlackBerry 10, and make sure everybody working on it (us and KDAB) >> is using exactly the same branch. >> >> Alternatively I guess we could just clone the repo into a team clone. >> >> Peter > > We can discuss this, but personally I am not that fond of creating > platform specific branches.
