| [13:27] <gerlowskija> elopio: ping | |
| [14:07] <nik90_> mzanetti: ping | |
| [14:12] <mzanetti> nik90_: hey | |
| [14:13] <nik90_> mzanetti: hey would it be possible to have a hangout for about 20-30 minutes to pick your brain on a qml c++ plugin? | |
| [14:13] <nik90_> mzanetti: doesn't have to be today | |
| [14:13] <nik90_> mzanetti: anytime you are free would be nice | |
| [14:13] <mzanetti> nik90_: sure | |
| [14:14] <nik90_> mzanetti: when would you like to have it? | |
| [14:14] <mzanetti> hmm, maybe a bit later today... | |
| [14:15] <mzanetti> nik90_: a bit busy atm, can I ping you later about it? | |
| [14:15] <nik90_> mzanetti: alrite, ping me when you are free later | |
| [14:15] <mzanetti> ok | |
| [14:15] <nik90_> yeah | |
| [16:07] <bzoltan> nik90_: thank you for helping out the folks with the menu probelm :) I was out of network reach. | |
| [16:27] <nik90_> bzoltan: no worries :) | |
| [16:51] <bzoltan> nik90_: so it seems that the new 3.1.1 release did not mess up anything :) | |
| [16:51] <nik90_> bzoltan: yup :) | |
| [16:52] <bzoltan> nik90_: it is a huge luck that we got the qtc 3.1.1 backported to qt52 ... when it was released with the 5.3 I wonder how long our luck will last. At some point QtC will not be backportable to the LTS | |
| [16:53] <nik90_> bzoltan: I can imagine..I have been coding in a 14.10 VM for the past few weeks. I suppose we must update the instructions on developer.ubuntu.com to use a 14.10 VM or release instead of 14.04 | |
| [16:54] <nik90_> bzoltan: Or even better, provide a downloadable VM that people can use just for development purposes with all the necessary tools ready | |
| [16:56] <nik90_> bzoltan: In the future when Unity 8 becomes default, would it be possible to provide QtC+Qt 5.x in a click package that people can install without having to upgrade their OS? That would make it super convenient to stick with one OS version and keep updating the SDK. | |
| [16:57] <bzoltan> nik90_: Yes, in the confined click world this issue will be different. | |
| [16:58] <bzoltan> nik90_: SDK in VM is a trivial solution but to be honest I find it rather unprofessional as a primary method of distribution. | |
| [16:59] <nik90_> bzoltan: I agree, but requesting developers to download a development release of Ubuntu which cannot be found so easily is helpful either. | |
| [16:59] <nik90_> isn't helpful either* | |
| [16:59] <bzoltan> nik90_: I think either the co-installation of minor Qt releases should be resolved, or we need to install the Qt to the user space. | |
| [17:00] <bzoltan> nik90_: LTS is LTS, so we will never suggest developers to upgrade from LTS to use the SDK | |
| [17:00] <nik90_> bzoltan: at the moment, for an external 3rd party app dev, it is confusing to install 14.04 and then realise that he won't get the new headers and other cool sdk features | |
| [17:19] <bzoltan> nik90_: why would not he get? It is all in the emulator and in the chroot... When a developer installs the Android SDK on OSX is it expected to see all the android APIs on the OSX? | |
| [17:20] <bzoltan> nik90_: I know it will take time to educate some folks that the development environment and the target environment are two different place | |
| [17:20] <nik90_> bzoltan: true that would work | |
| [17:22] <bzoltan> nik90_: the problem right now is that we should support not only the phone app development but the desktop app/scope development. Right now we have good target emulator of the phone, but not for the desktop. But it is being worked out :) | |
| [17:23] <nik90_> bzoltan: yeah I am waiting for rsalvetti to add support for updating the emulator images on the fly. Currently we have to recreate the emulator to get the latest image | |
| [17:24] <nik90_> bzoltan: although I guess this shouldn't be too much of an issue for people targetting the stable images in the future | |
| [17:29] <bzoltan> nik90_: yes, it should not be much. The emulator update would be fun. | |
