I recall having heard that this was one of the new goals for Qt now that we have C++ 11.
Is the intention of this fork to merge back at some point? I don't see the fragmentation working out for everyone in the long run.
- sirspudd 11y agoIt is Qt 4.8 based, there is clearly zero intention of remerging it. They changed the build system! There are lots of people seeking to repackage Qt's work, add their own spin (pittance of work) and then attempt to profit off of it as a discrete product.
- asermersheim 11y agoCopperSpice is a fork of Qt 4.8 but we have evolved considerably past the Qt version we started from. We switched the build system to autotools in order to get away from the brittle and complex bootstrap system that Qt must maintain. With respect to your comment about 'a pittance of work' here are some current numbers from CopperSpice: 43426 files changed, 2062325 insertions(+), 7974133 deletions(-) Since CopperSpice is an open source project released under the GPL & LGPL, we are not looking to profit from it nor can we. Now, if someone throws money at us, we certainly will not refuse. But we did this for the love of the game.
