I have no idea what I'm getting when I download these packages. Why do we maintain an inconsistency for macOS versus the other two host platforms? I don't see why we can't simplify this process and have ONE platform per installer... Let's focus on delivering a better experience to our users and customers instead of dropping packages just because it makes our job a little bit easier. ;) > > br, > Jani > >> >>> * For Windows Android start doing Android Windows build with MinGW53 >>> * Start supporting QNX 7.0 >>> >>> -- >>> Alex >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Development mailing list >>> Development@qt-project.org >>> http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development >> >> -- >> Jake Petroules - jake.petrou...@qt.io >> The Qt Company - Silicon Valley >> Qbs build tool evangelist - qbs.io >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Development mailing list >> Development@qt-project.org >> http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development -- Jake Petroules - jake.petrou...@qt.io The Qt Company - Silicon Valley Qbs build tool evangelist - qbs.io _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
