Hi, I tried to build it and found two issues in the Makefile: - it is using /usr/lib for linking the libraries. This should be /usr/lib64 on 64 bit systems, otherwise you enforce the usage of the 32 bits libqt4, which people might not want to install. - QMAKE is hardwired as /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 . I suppose this is debian specific, under Suse there is no qmake-qt4, it is simply called qmake. Maybe you could first try qmake-qt4 and switch over to qmake if it fails?
>From the logic (of what I've seen), I'm missing a way to remove repositories. Also I currently see no way of handling a distro that is different from what is installed on the master node. You'd need to add a selector for that at the top, maybe similar to what the "build image" panel is doing. Otherwise (untested) sounds great. I'd like to integrate this with the new PackagePath functionality. Thanks for checking it in.
