Interest in getting feedback
Message 1 in thread
Hey,
at least the following questions and patches went without any feedback:
- "Qtopia and DBUS IPC" asked twice, no response so far
- Qtopia and GPLv3, Qt4.3.4 is GPLv2 and GPLv3 what about making
Qtopia GPLv3 too?
- [PATCH] QAnalogClock is drawin..
- [PATCH] Make the ContextLabel refuse... Lorn you wanted to test things,
how did the testing go?
- Dead files in the tarballs/snapshots
- [PATCH] Make src/server/phone... consistent
- Feedback on implementing a custom QAbstractServerInterface..
- [PATCH] Qtopia/X11 and not updating..
- [PATCH] Another day, another excitment
- Questions regarding the MenuManager in qsoftmenubar.cpp
- QtopiaApplication, placing and sizing of a ...
...
and we have a bunch of other things in our git tree but as the amount of
feedback, even for trivial bugfixes, is so low I wonder if I should share
these things at all...

Are you sending them to trolltech directly? Or only to the list?
When I send a patch, I send it to support@ not just the list... It makes
sure I get a response..

No response from mgnt.

One of our engineers commented he thinks this breaks binary compatibility.

Had a sudden change in priorities. Initially, I think it is ok.

some internal discussion over what our policy for variable names is.
Usually, and historically, it follows Qt, no underscores, etc. Nothing
is decided yet. Usually we don't like making these kinds of changes in
bug fixing mode, which the 4.3 branch is in.

Does this effect the application is any way? i.e does it work without
this patch?

haven't had a chance to look at this.

Just because no one responds doesn't mean we aren't seeing them. As
Scott mentioned, CC: support@ will make sure they get responded to and
you can track the response better as well.

Hehe, why does he think that? E.g. consult with the platform people in Oslo?

Hehe, then make the deveopment branch public? E.g. there is Qt 4.3, 4.4 and
4.5 in the rsync, you could open your development as well?

Well, the CallScreen will never show a photo... it depends if people know the
CallScreen could show photos.. Normally I would avoid writing 80% of the code
needed to show photos in the callscreen when I actually don't even want to
show photos. So there is something fishy...just by applying deduction...

That was me, but I was mistaken:-) The patch has been applied and should be
available in the latest snapshots.
> - [PATCH] Make src/server/phone... consistent
Part of this has been applied: namely, the dead code you pointed out has been
removed. As Lorn mentioned, there is still some internal discussion regarding
naming of member variables. When that is resolved I'll clean up this class
further.

This was very useful feedback, thank you. It also fits in well with what is
already underway for Qtopia 4.4: improved modularization of the server
components. I don't know what has (or will be) done for this specific issue,
but I can follow up on that as well.
> - Questions regarding the MenuManager in qsoftmenubar.cpp
I've added a task for this -- I agree that the softmenubar should be more
flexible in its positioning.

Yes, please do continue to share them -- the feedback is much appreciated,
even if we are very slow to acknowledge it sometimes (as several others have
pointed out, the reality at this point is that you will likely get a quicker
response and better 'trackability' via the issue tracker and support).
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards,
Michael
