** Description changed: We're currently lacking patches in Qt5 that would enable appmenu / HUD support in Qt5. The FFe is mainly related to the Qt5 part ( qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) ): == CHANGE == https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/ubuntu/raring/qtbase-opensource-src /enable-appmenu <- the added patch debian/patches/enable_appmenu_support.diff The patch re-adds appmenu support as it was in Qt4 - it's based on the approved Qt4 upstream changes we had landed. It's a direct port of the same changes. == TESTS == The packages (and Qt5 with the patch) builds and works, as tested on the ppa:sil2100/qt PPA by some users. == WHY? == Since the release of the Ubuntu SDK, our distro started directly depending on Qt5. In the current form, Qt5 has no global menu support - all Qt5 compiled applications have menus in windows. HUD support for those applications is also non-existent. We think this is unacceptable, especially that we're advertising development using our Ubuntu SDK (Qt5). + On the other hand, it also doesn't change the user interaction in a huge + way, since Qt5 is not in main, but in universe. So it's not + automatically visible to the user, but only to those that wish to use + the Ubuntu SDK. + Note that this also blocks fix for bug 1126210 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtbase-opensource- src/+bug/1126210/comments/9).
