Re: [Development] Who is in charge of qt-project.org?
Hi Tuukka, On 02.11.2018 13:44, Tuukka Turunen wrote: Exactly. We are very pleased if there are people who start to contribute to Qbs. So far it has been very little by others than employees of The Qt Company. We will continue maintaining Qbs so that it stays supported until end of 2019 and also release a new version in April 2019 as promised. Most likely Qbs remains usable a long time after support ends - even without anyone from the community working on it. This is a good opportunity for those interested in further developing Qbs to step up and start taking it forward. We can help with the reviews and provide the infrastructure. We can help even with new releases, if there is enough interest to develop it further. To be honest, that's not at all what the blog post at http://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/29/deprecation-of-qbs/ suggests: > We have decided to deprecate Qbs and redirect our resources to > increase support for CMake. The keyword here being "deprecate". You're not saying "The Qt Company is pulling resources", you're saying "Qbs will go away, don't use it anymore" ("you" being TQtC). The first one would be fine, the latter one is a clear signal to stay away from it. If Qbs is independent from TQtC (what the discussion here suggests), than TQtC is in no position to _deprecate_ it. We probably should have opened the dialogue about the future of Qbs during the process of thinking about the options. This would have been good and fair towards the community. I think TQtC has every right to say "we won't be supporting/funding/developing Qbs anymore" (as it seems to have happened with Qt Widgets IIRC), but announcing its deprecation is a completely different beast IMO. ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
Re: [Development] Preventing link rot in Qt docs

Re: [Development] Proposal: Deprecate QVector in Qt 6
On 23.04.2020 16:45, Giuseppe D'Angelo via Development wrote: == Naming of functions and types if QList = QVector == We have QStringList, QVariantList and friends, which are aliases / subclasses of QList and so on. Should they become QStringVector, QVariantVector; and the *List names stay, aliases for the *Vector names, mirroring QList and QVector themselves? Another suggestion: Get rid if the aliases; use the fully-qualified types instead. I'm always irritated if I open the documentation of QVariantList from within Qt Creator, and land on the QVariant docu instead. I'm interested in the features of the container, not the contained type. And I have to remember if QStringList is the same as as QList, or if it's actually a different container with a different API. ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development

As a Conan user myself, I'd like to learn more about these packages. Are there official Qt packages for Conan available?

[Development] Building Qt with dynamic OpenGL on MinGW broken
Hello, because of QTBUG-52487, there's currently no straight-forward way to build an OpenGL-dynamic QT 5.7 with MinGW on Windows. There's a patch attached to the bug report, but it's not on Gerrit (and the author hasn't responded to the request to push it to Gerrit). May I propose that somebody else takes the patch and pushes it to Gerrit for a proper review?
