Actually, the formal FFe wasn't even yet prepared, I am only now formalizing everything properly. ~ubuntu-release has been assigned a bit too early I think, but the formal modifications I am now performing should not really change the overall state of the problem - just trying to clean up here and there.
** Description changed: We're currently lacking patches in Qt5 that would enable appmenu / HUD support in Qt5. == CHANGE == https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/ubuntu/raring/qtbase-opensource-src /enable-appmenu <- the added patch debian/patches/enable_appmenu_support.diff The patch re-adds appmenu support as it was in Qt4 - it's based on the approved Qt4 upstream changes we had landed. It's a direct port of the same changes. == TESTS == The packages (and Qt5 with the patch) builds and works, as tested on the ppa:sil2100/qt PPA by some users. == WHY? == Since the release of the Ubuntu SDK, our distro started directly depending on Qt5. In the current form, Qt5 has no global menu support - all Qt5 compiled applications have menus in windows. HUD support for those applications is also non-existent. We think this is unacceptable, especially that we're advertising development using our Ubuntu SDK (Qt5). Note that this also blocks fix for bug 1126210 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtbase-opensource- src/+bug/1126210/comments/9). + + As mentioned in the comments, this is a distro-only fix for now, as + upstream support does require more time to be done (see bug LP: + #1157213). This distro patch would be essentially removed and replaced + by the QPA support upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1126205 Title: [FFe] Bring Unity appmenu / HUD integration to Qt5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt/+bug/1126205/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
