Hey, thanks a lot for attacking this; I realize it must be painful when servers or developer systems are on a stable/LTS release and you try to target the latest frameworks or review packages created against these.
The original plan was to use click chroots to decouple this, and enable some PPA so that the chroot would be $series + click frameworks PPA for the series. The update to pull the list of allowed frameworks from the store is an improvement over hardcoding it in click-reviewer-tools, so it's great to have this now, but this approach generally prevents us from e.g. checking whether binaries are tied to the right libraries / use the right symbols or whether QML sources use the right modules for this or that framework. The perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good though :-) Thanks, -- Loïc On Thu, Jul 3, 2014 at 12:26 PM, Daniel Holbach <daniel.holb...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > Hello everybody, > > as some discussions have pointed out previously, we currently have > problems updating frameworks definitions, as (AFAIK) ubuntu-touch-meta, > click, apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu and click-reviewers-tools have to be > updated and be backported.
