Hi

Alex branched 1.1 QtMobility today, so the 'master' branch of the
mobility repo will contain the workings of QtMobility 1.2, which will
add support for Meego.

http://qt.gitorious.com/qt-mobility/qt-mobility
QtMobility 1.2 is targeted for MeeGo 1.2.
 From the packaging point of view, we'll skip 1.1.x and
upcoming Trunk packages will based on master branch.
QtMobility packages based on master branch are ready in our staging area.

These packages requires QMF 2010w36. Please be advised, several renaming
changes have been made to QMF. These changes are unfortunately source and
binary incompatible and will require software dependent on QMF to be updated.

Please see below for details:
- libmessageserver ->  libqmfmessageserver
- libqtopiamail ->  libqmfclient
- qtopiamailfile ->  qmfstoragemanager

These changes are illustrated in this commit:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/messagingframework/commit/d3640202abeced192a89ec57b90fdb30e1aa551b

 From a MeeGo packaging point of view:
pkgconfig(qtopiamail) ->  pkgconfig(qmfclient)

So... if I'm reading this correct then we are skipping past the entire mobility 1.1 stabilization and immediately pushing the bleeding edge work which will eventually become mobility 1.2?

I fear that this is going to cause havoc on application development process if we see constant breakage on a very critical set of API's. How about we push in the mobility 1.1 beta into Trunk, followed by beta?/rc?/final-release, and then hold off on pushing in 1.2 till the code is a bit further along (like the first technical preview or beta release?)

Perhaps host a sandbox for the cutting edge mobility-1.2-hasn't-hit-tp-yet for those that really need it?
