[Interest] [Development] Qt installation prefix path issue

[Maurice Kalinowski]

The reason is that code.qt.io is never meant as a public searchable tool, but its purpose has always been to reduce the load on gerrit when doing initial clones.

Come on people, it's not that everything is meant to be purely evil, but as code.qt.io is there since a while, its main use-case might have shifted.

There is also the official mirroring at github https://github.com/qt which you could use to do your daily clones and builds of Qt.

To repeat, code.qt.io was meant for people contributing to Qt and reducing the IO on gerrit as an initial setup step. Nothing more...
