I am aware of that :) I was more trying to create a discussion around the possible ways of packaging and development cycle for browser based apps. HTML5/JS support exists in Qt Creator as per my discussions in #qt-creator@freenode from yesterday, but needs testing and surely work to support on-the-fly packaging and zyppering for Mer.
I think it'd be safe to bet that not many tried deploying HTML5/JS apps to Harmattan such that could provide good enough testing coverage, but I might be wrong and the CI system might fill in where human hand is missing. Has any work done on that already, or what's the status? (opinions and feedback also welcome) Cheers, -Sivan On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 3:28 PM, Simonas Leleiva <simonas.lele...@gmail.com>wrote: > On 19 December 2012 13:25, Sivan Greenberg <si...@omniqueue.com> wrote: > > So from quick check, it seems that creator supports all the editing > features > > including deployment (as expected since html5 apps were also part of the > > MeeGo developer story) to Harmattan. > > > > Left to check: if this already supports 'upstream' meego (and hence Mer) > > deployments through rpm packaging and see how agnostic the process is to > > enable other IDEs that users might fancy using to be supported (like the > > Android story). > > > > -Sivan > > > > > > On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 1:21 PM, Sivan Greenberg <si...@omniqueue.com> > > wrote: > >> > >> Hi All, > >> > >> Seeing we need to somehow support this story in the same ease of use > I'd > >> like to bring this up for discussion. > >> > >> As I see it we could enable the following: > >> > >> - Use QtCreator for HTML5/JS developer; Since WebKit/V8 is part of the > >> stack here I don't suppose there should be substantial issues in making > >> QtCreator an HTML5/JS editing tool if not already applicable as such. > >> > >> - Support smooth testing and deployment on device through either one or > >> all of the following: > >> 1.
