Hi, I'd like to revive an old thread about Qml and the "bundle" feature we have in the code base. The last time this was discussed (August last year, http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-August/012261.html ) I think no conclusion was reached regarding whether this feature should be kept around or not.
>From what I remember from discussions around the feature and from the code that I've seen meanwhile, the intentions of the bundle system were good. Save parsing time, make room for architecture specific output, all encapsulated in one file. However I'm at the point where I don't think the bundle feature adds any value anymore, but it does add cost to the code base in terms of maintenance. You can argue about the actual price, but it is greater than zero :) Meanwhile nobody has worked on it, the tooling supporting beyond the command line tool is still non-existent and the feature remains undocumented. Therefore I propose to remove the command line tool, the bundle loading support in the engine as well as the auto-tests from the dev branch. What do we have to loose? If somebody really wants to pick it up again, then they can revive it from the git history and play with it. Any opinions? :) Simon _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
