Hey all, I have a question regarding the handling of optional dependencies, and how that influences the distribution of Qt code, esp. the creation of tarballs and binaries.
Qt WebChannel uses Qt WebSockets for its examples, and that optionally and only there. The rest of the code works fine without websockets, to ensure that e.g. Qt WebKit or Qt WebEngine don't drag in Qt WebSockets as a dependency via the WebChannel. So far so good. But when qt5.git builds WebChannel without WebSockets available, the examples wont be build. What implications does this have? a) No CI coverage of whether the examples build on all platforms? b) What about packaging? Will the examples still be included in the Qt source tarballs? Will binary builds of Qt include the examples? c) more...? What should we do about this situation?
