[Development] dev snapshots idea

[Massimo Callegari]

Andrew,I am well aware of that site, and I frequently download snapshots when they are available.My whole point is regarding Qt 5.5.0.Now we need to wait months before the first alpha snapshots will be available.
My idea is to start seeing snapshots this month.I am especially interested in Qt3D and I already have given feedbacks via IRC to the developers.Since a couple of weeks, Qt3D can be built only on 5.5, ad even if I am sure I can build Qt5-dev on Linux, I am discouraged to work with GIT.Moreover I can't give any feedback on Windows, OSX or Android, as building for those platforms is (at least for me) a pain in the ass.
Regards,Massimo

Subject: [Development] dev snapshots idea    Hello Qt team, Jani, if possible, it would be nice to have snapshots during the whole development of a Qt release. I'm not asking for nightly builds, but I would say snapshots every 1-2 weeks would allow a lot of users  to test the latest developments, especially for those who follow Gerrit like me. Building Qt from GIT is somehow tedious, requires a lot of time and moreover you're never sure if a build issue is because you haven't done a proper clean/disclean/uninstall/git pull.    I believe it would also help you guys not to rush to fix deployment issues when the time comes to release an alpha/beta/rc.    Maybe you can just limit the targets to the most used ones, which you will decide. E.g. Linux+Android x64, OSX android+ios, Windows msvc2013 opengl and sources.    I would appreciate some feedback about this idea. If it is not feasible, just let us know. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work !    Massimo
