On IRC just now:

20:59 < nurupo> what does "-1" in "5.6.1-1" mean?
21:00 < nurupo> it always was major.minor.patch, with the API/ABI 
compatibility relation between them well defined
21:00 < nurupo> but suddenly there is this "-1"

Files are still not back yet.

I've created a P0 task for the release team. Please solve this Monday.

Something that uses the platform's native desktop bus, as far as something like 
that exists.

If 2 applications communicate via QtDBus calls it doesn't really matter what 
QtDBus does, it hides the implementation details. Instead of a daemon there 
could be an angel that handles the communication ;)

Well, that's the main point, isn't it. Replacing dbus by something that does 
the 
same thing almost the same way only in order to avoid using dbus doesn't make a 
lot of sense.

I wasn't wondering aloud how we could do something completely different, but 
rather what could be improved to make dbus a true cross-platform daemon-based 
desktop bus service that cannot be accused of being a fish out of the water.

Re: [Development] Push to Gerrit

Hi Harald,

often on Windows it's easiest to install PuTTy and it's helper program, 
pageant. Run pageant and import/convert your ssh key and set this up in 
your gerrit webui.


Cheers,

Sean

Hi,

I'm trying to make my first ever contribution to Qt, but I am

something wrong.


I've added and committed the patch locally, but when I try to run

git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/5.7

I get a popup messagebox:

TortoiseGitPlink Fatal Error

I'm on Windows. I assume the problem is related to the ssh keys.

Any hints on how to continue would be welcome.

Thanks,
