[Interest] Qt.conf and desktop application

[Jérôme Godbout]

Yeah the packaging can be customized, but it doesn't solve the debug running, not everything is running from packaged. I don't like to have any difference between the debug and the release package, this open the door to bad surprises. The problem is not with the packaging, but the entire env setup within Qtcreator and still hold true after packaging (not having X configurations for each platforms, packaged or not to maintain).

Shouldn't need all of that. Possibly. When building a single .deb which would deploy and run on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04 machines without any Internet connection, I did. At one point it was even a multi-arch .deb. One package bringing along everything needed for the 32-bit executables to run on 64-bit machines which did not have the
IA-32 (or whatever they call them these days) packages installed.
