Needed for? Triggering configure?

SGaist

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

aha_1980

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?

mrjj

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.

VRonin

Ok, so:

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.

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).

mrjj

Hi
regarding hosting.
How big is image ?

aha_1980

@mrjj Expect something between 20 and 40 GB (depending if we keep the compile artefacts or not).

@VRonin said in Gerrit Contributions:

No clue, but if you become desperate I can clear you 100-200 GB on my disk, however my connection isn't really that fast (40Mb outgoing).

mrjj

Well
https://www.pcloud.com/
give 20 GB for free.
maybe we can compress it.
I will try to see if i can find their markting person and ask if they could donate
100 GB to Qt forum.

kshegunov

A classmate of mine works for that company, I could make a separate inquiry about it ...

mrjj

@kshegunov
That would be great. its super nice service. Much better than dropbox.

kshegunov

Yeah, unfortunately he said they probably won't be interested. Especially as they can't monetize at all the simple file hosting. They may want to "enforce" usage of their app, but I told him it wouldn't be appropriate in this case. The problem it seems is twofold:

there's not much gain of providing file hosting from the company's point of view
file hosting is expensive for them, and they impose very heavy restriction on traffic, which means it's probably not a viable option for our case

I asked for advice on possible other solutions, but he said it's kind of unlikely to find a decent hosting service for free just for file storage - there's not much interest into it from the companies; paid file hosting seems to be best, but costs money.

mrjj

@kshegunov
Ok. so the end of that idea. Thank you for trying
Im pretty sure we can find solution for 50 GB.

That shouldn't stop you from trying to contact their marketing, they may have a different take on it, even if unlikely.

Not exactly what I was told, but it doesn't hurt to try. ;)

mrjj

@kshegunov
I asked Joel Bodenmann since he just installed 1000/1000 and bought 16 TB extra ;)
No harm asking.

Update:

Joel Bodenmann will host the wm image gladly.
size really not issue.
