Hi all,
 

> Do you plan to "fix" that now that qbs is "dead"?

Qbs is indeed an issue we have to "fix" somehow.

CMake files generator for Qbs would be handy, but unfortunately it's not
there.

TBH Qbs has some pros, like it performs builds really fast, it has
powerful, declarative syntax, it does not require underlying build
system, it can be easily extended with features through JavaScript... I
wish the project wasn't dead, but I try to hang on and not cry :P

CuteHMI in kdereview

Hello there,

CuteHMI (https://cutehmi.kde.org/) has been moved to kdereview.

CuteHMI is meant to be a set of tools and components that help one to
create QML-based HMI/SCADA software.

The project has been started few years ago, because I couldn't find any
open-source, QML-based HMI/SCADA framework I could put my things into.

Regards

Yeah, I neglected translations a bit... I am going to implement adequate
Qbs module for extracting translations.

When it comes to Qbs, it's not dead. Community has taken over the
project, there's active development and recent version was released just
44 days ago.

We migrated from QMake to Qbs, when it was still supported by Qt Company
and promoted as official build system for Qt 6. Thus we assumed Qbs is
the future. We've found that Qbs has some issues (like every software),
but in overal it's very capable and powerful piece of software. It also
provides much faster builds on Windows. I wish more people would give it
a try before burying the project, to at least see the potential. With
something like Qbs we could create a build framework with reusable
components, so that each KDE subproject could benefit from it and become
naturally integrated. It may be hard to accomplish with CMake.

Regards,

Michal
