Hi,

There is a file `dependencies.yaml` in the root of the qtdeclarative which 
tells which sha1 of qtbase is working (as this is the sha1 tested by the CI)

In order to update the dependencies, one must make a commit that updates the 
dependencies.yaml and that fixes the code so it compile with the actual revision.
