[Releasing] Current beta installers

Mon Jul 16 13:50:13 CEST 2012

Hi.

Digia build uses a script called "mksrcpackage_qt5.sh" to create source package, which I don't see in the qtrepotools.

It seems that "mksrcpackage_qt5.sh" and "mksrc.sh" have probably shared some ancestor in distant past (judging from fact that usage instructions still refer to it as "mksrc.sh"), but in their current form they are quite different. I would rather let Iikka handle this as he actually knows why there are two separate scripts and why the other one has not been submitted.

I don't understand why there's two shell scripts that try to do the same 
thing though, to simply package the sources into one neat an 
redistributable source package.

It would gain both the Qt Project and Digia if we used the exact same 
source packaging script, as well as it would ensure that the installer 
packaging scripts work towards the same end result.

It seems to me that mksrc.sh is currently producing the most proper 
results atm, removing all the .git/ directories and successfully 
generating HTML docs, as described in Jason's latest testing.

Tuukka, Miikka, Iikka: Can we get Digia to base your packages on the 
mksrc.sh script instead of mkqt5bld.py (I assume), or quickly ensure 
that the latter produces exactly (or better) results than the former, so 
we all can use the same?

Thanks!
