But what scripts need porting? I don't see anything that is required to build Qt or contribute to the Project. There are some helper but entirely optional scripts that were written in Perl, others in Python; some shell scripts in Zsh or requiring Bash specifically instead of being Bourne Shell-compatible. Because none are required, I don't see them as a showstopper or even a barrier to entry. Maybe an annoyance. I have no problem with rewrites, so long as the offers to rewrite include an offer to maintain said scripts for a couple of years. That means I'd be wary of accepting an offer from someone who isn't an established Qt contributor... but then again, those scripts are entirely optional so their falling into bitrot is not a problem either. So if anyone wants to port anything, get busy. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Cloud Software Architect - Intel DCAI Cloud Engineering
