Hi,
referring to
https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6-additional-libraries-via-package-manager
it looks like that the situation regarding Qt binary packaging and
distribution around the time 6.0 will be shipped will look like this:
1) Binary (*) Qt Essentials from the installer, OSS+Comm
- QtCore, QtWidgets, QtQML, etc.
2) Binary (*) Qt Addons from the installer, OSS+Comm
- QtSQL, QtQuick3D, etc.
3) Binary (*) extras from the installer, OSS+Comm
- QtCreator, MinGW, OpenSSL, CMake, etc.
4) Source and/or binary Qt Addons from the Marketplace, OSS+Comm
- QtPDF, QtCharts, etc.
4a) Non-software products from the Marketplace
- E.g. TQC Trainings
5) Source Qt Addons from the Package Manager, OSS(+Comm?)
- Qt3D, QtImageFormats
- to be built manually
(*) One can install the source, but they're for debugging, one doesn't
build them
Am I getting the complete picture? And am I the only one who finds this
extremely confusing? How is the decision regarding what-goes-where made?
Thanks,
