It would be nice to make this, "turn-key".
For example, on platforms like Windows, it "would-be-nice" to have an
"installer" that you could download, which installs a
"QtContributor.exe", which is a simple GUI to pull Qt modules or
otherwise make "easy" the local-codebase management and
compiling/linking/install of a module configuration.
I don't want to make "more-work" for anyone, but I think a
"contributor-IDE" with contributor-utility-help would be useful
(enter/search-for/reproduce bugs, pull module updates so bugs could be
reproduced/fixed/verified, etc.)
How about an optional Qt Creator plugin shipped with Creator but
disabled by default? I know disable by default would be fairly simple
because the TODO plugin was done that way for a while.
If we want "casual-users" to find/reproduce/look-at bugs, a
one-click-setup would be great, IMHO. Yes, once it's "in-place", it's
easy. But it's not easy getting it "in-place".
Also, many of us must maintain "clean-reference" development
environments where we maintain "last-released" development in addition
to (wanting-to) closely follow new Qt module development. An easy
"module-configurator" tool would be nice for this. I'm thinking of
something like a simple GUI on top of Thiago's
Qt-module-selector/configurator-scripts.
