Ah, but for embedded device targets, one usually wants the best possible, so depending on your distro's older and crappier moc is not a good idea. Sounds to me like we should do both, with a 2-year sliding window of compatibility. My current changes require no extra effort (they're done anyway, will push soon). Adding the version arguments to the tools requires a bit more effort. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
