Re: [Development] What's the story for Qt5 on Harmattan?
Hi, We (QtWebKit team) intent on testing and making sure that WebKit works reasonable on the N9, but it is not a hard target for the release. Instead what we are focusing on it providing a better QML view which comes with most of the N9 browser features out of the box.

Hi, I would like to get some clarity regarding Qt5 on Harmattan... Based on the Wiki page here (http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Qt_5.0), Harmattan is not a Tier 1 platform. I also didn't find any Wiki page saying anything regarding Tier 2 and Tier 3 platforms. The only information I can find is from the Qt5-feedback mailing list [1], but I don't know any further plans / actions, except Oswald and Thiago pointed out Qt5 on Harmattan is still relevant [2]. Then could someone give some clarity to what scope Qt5 is supposed to be supported for Harmattan? Note that there're certain essential (sub-)modules requiring Harmattan-specific back-end, e.g. bearer, P&S, system info. Also, many add-on modules from ex-mobility also require Harmattan-specific back-end. Any one currently maintaining the code for Harmattan? Or at least any volunteers? Any CI support under plan? If there's nobody doing this, and no plan available, how can we keep Qt5 working on Harmattan?

Qt 5 in Harmattan is relevant to the Qt Project because Qt is deeply integrated and the Nokia N9 is publicly available. Needless to say, having platforms to develop and test Qt 5 is very important and Harmattan offers an open platform for handset form factor. > Then could someone give some clarity to what scope Qt5 is supposed to > be supported for Harmattan?

Hi, Practically, since Qt Project has no plan to support Qt5 in Harmattan, I believe the Harmattan-specific code sits in its own clone repository (same as for QtonPi [1] and ), right?

We are doing changes in qtbase, etc. for improved support of Qt 5 on Harmattan. I don't think it will make it to tier1 with just our effort, but we have a continued interest in running qtbase/qtdeclarative on Harmattan and it would be nice to keep things working as long as the maintenance required to do that is as low as it currently seems.

It is still the best ARM device to play with, so I'm sure there will be people interested in running their code there to ensure it works and has decent performance.

I believe this is a view colored by qtbase/qtdeclarative/webkit only. The picture is very different for networking, systeminfo, P&S or location, The backends are very large and complex and hardly (if at all) used by any other Linux derivate.

Right, if the maintainers of that code feel it's more of a burden, then it's definitely a good idea to remove the code. But in cases where that isn't the case it would be nice (nice, that's all) to keep it around for those who care about Qt5 on Harmattan.

I'd recommend as a compromise that we simply leave them there for the time being. Since the Harmattan API itself isn't getting updated, the code that interfaces with that API should be reasonably stable. The team that wants to maintain the Harmattan port can adapt to changes in the plugin API facing Qt if necessary. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center Intel Sweden AB - Registration Number: 556189-6027 Knarrarnäsgatan 15, 164 40 Kista, Stockholm, Sweden signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
