Yes, for app development they are independent. They didn't even have to live in the same repository, but since they are usually used together we chose to have them in the same repo. That makes it easier to catch bugs earlier and to make sure that Controls and Layouts always cooperate properly. (For instance, many examples use both QtQuick Layouts and QtQuick Controls). Their respective autotests however shouldn't rely on the other framework.

The plugins are different, but the git repository where the source is present is the same. You have to build the qtquickcontrols repository, or you will miss the layouts. -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) | GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://barnacity.net/ | http://disperso.net _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
