    Cool. Are there any information about the planned update?

      Just an idea to facilitate one-off code submission.
      I could prepare a Virtual Box image with a system with all the plumbing in place to contribute to Qt including a small gui to facilitate non pre-configurable actions (like setting up username and password). This should cut down dramatically the time from idea to code.
      Thoughts? If you think it's a bad idea say it, I won't be offended

        That actually sounds great! A Linux system should be save from license side.

        And if the Qt is already configured and build, you'll save the compile time too :)

        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          I was thinking just a straightforward debian build.
          Anyone has a full post-compile qt5.git repo? I just want to know how big the whole package would be.

            I just tried to do a full build, but my system stopped "out of memory" in Qt3D.

            Disk used so far: 23 GB.

            I didn't even include the QtWeb* modules, see below.

            perl init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebkit,-qtwebkit-examples,-qtwebengine
            ./configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license
            

            Maybe I can get it to fully build tomorrow.

                What about having it pre-configured and people can start compiling it after they did the modifications they want ?

                Another possibility could be to provide a docker container ?

                  Will preconfiguring work, as configure does compile qmake?

                    Good point, what could be done is to pre-configure Qt, clean everything and just keep the configuration files needed to re-trigger Qt's build.

                      What about building only qtbase or the essential set of modules? That should be more manageable, even if somewhat constraining?
                      Something like the following configuration:

                      $> perl init-repository --module-subset=essential
                      $> ./configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license
                      $> make module-qtbase
                      $> make module-qtquickcontrols2
                      $> ... 
                      

                      @SGaist

                      Good point, what could be done is to pre-configure Qt, clean everything and just keep the configuration files needed to re-trigger Qt's build.

                      Ehm, you do need qmake to retrigger the build, or did you mean something else? My concern is with the qmake's paths that are compiled into the binary, maybe patching them would do the trick?

                        config.status and config.opt are all that are needed.

                            Re-trigger configure using the set of parameter you original passed. In the absolute, config.opt is enough as config.status just calls configure with the -redo option.

                                @aha_1980 Thanks!

                                @SGaist and @kshegunov My idea was to pre-configure and even make. That's really the time saving part. The rest can literally be included in a bash file, it's not really that taxing.

                                @SGaist said in Gerrit Contributions:

                                provide a docker container

                                That's actually another great idea

                                  As someone that has not used Docker before: it is not as cross-platform as VirtualBox, i.e. you can use a Linux docker only in a Linux environment, not Windows, right?

                                  Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                                    Hi
                                    Dockers can be used in windows too but no gui possible as far as i know.
                                    So VM would be so much more flexible and cross platform.
                                    also dockers requires user to learn how to use them ( new commands, integration etc)
                                    where as WM is still just a normal linux.

                                      • VM over docker

                                      Open issues

                                      • "pre-config & make" or "pre-config and delete unnecessary stuff"
                                      • where would it be appropriate to host such a big file?
                                      • how often should it be updated and what would be the best way to do it?

                                        Don't forget the traffic that is generated when downloading...

                                        For me and my limited networks speed, even downloading such a big file takes several hours.

                                        how often should it be updated and what would be the best way to do it?

                                        Another good one :) For now, I'd set it to the tip of qt5 5.11 branch, so you could do fixes easily and even push something to dev/5.12 with good chance it can be cherry-picked without conflict.

                                        That would mean you'd have to renew it in approx. half a year, when 5.12 is out (Given that the average user downloads no beta releases anyway).

                                        Qt has to stay free or it will die.
