Next steps

[BogDan]

Hello,

I just created a new wiki page and I fill it with my todo list http://community.kde.org/Necessitas/TODO .
Also I begin a few pages with my expected Schedules http://community.kde.org/Necessitas
I encourage everybody to contribute to those pages.


Cheers,
BogDan.

> To kick things off, here's a list of the things on my radar:
> 
> 0. Unify the build process temporary folder to somewhere that works on
> all systems. Windows can't use /tmp as MinGW maps that to %TEMP% which
> is in the User's AppData folder. The installer makes assumptions about
> where things were
>     built.
> 1. Fix the plugins copying (in general, using cp, rm etc) on Windows
> -> 2 ways, I can provide these exes or we can get platform detection
> working properly and switch on it in the mkspecs)
> 2. Update GDB to 7.3 (thumb2 improvements)
> 3. Finish the WIP NDK build script to get latest Google git and build
> that (so we can roll out fixes quickly, e.g.
> https://review.source.android.com//#change,21309)
> 4. Investigate using UDP instead of TCP/IP for GDB, if it's faster,
> otherwise investigate if adb can be sped up, network-wise. Both
> changes probably require changing adb executable, unfortunately.
> 5. Push some of my Windows fixes to Qt mainline (stuff to make it
> build/work under MinGW, though there's a few things I should fix in
> this stuff first).
> 6. Make it so that the Windows version can be built from Linux (mingw
> cross compiler support, quite a lot of work, esp. building Python
> which needs to run itself to compile the modules under Wine)
> 7. Fix make.exe -j support (would help with building on Windows as
> otherwise it requires baby-sitting).
> 8. Add support to 7za and installer-framework for symbolic links on
> Windows (see msdos command mklink) so there's no need to remove
> symlinks from the packages (and also MinGW's ln program)
> 9. Investigate OpenGLES 2.0 support (we build QTA for android-4, maybe
> for arm-v7a we can switch up to android-5 for the QtA compile (and as
> a min version), that way the configure test for OpenGLES 2 will pass
> ok and it'll build the library, I know there were issues with the
> OpenGL contexts after that but one problem at a time...)
> 10. See if I can pass off maintainership of either the Windows or Mac
> OS X versions to someone else (I'd like to keep hold of one of them,
> and don't mind which).
> 11. Fix webkit build failure on Windows and Mac OS X.
> 12. Fix installer framework so that it can install from local packages
> folder instead of always having to use the network -> this already
> works on Mac OS X (just modify config.xml to use file:/usr/www/ etc),
> but not on Windows (where it works partially, updates.xml is loaded
> but nothing else); I'm not sure about Linux, maybe add a command line
> option to override the repo url?
