Rethink Generic Linux Devices configuration, see summary

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Right now if you have several test machines, you have to enter to the Generic Linux Device Wizard for each one. Say if you have 10 identical embedded devices that you constantly reinstall to test things, you have to repeat the wizard for each one, and for each reinstall. This becomes really time consuming.

      Maybe a small panel where you put ip/user/pass is a better solution.

      WHY?

      As I have got to know, Kits work fine, they are a compiler, Qt version and debugger but a single Kit fits many machines, currently there is a tie between a Kit and a Machine, making a machine part of the Kit.

      I think a Kit should not be tied to machines so we can use a Kit for 20 Raspberries and a kit for 30 Beagles, we would have jsut TWO KITS, and a way to make a list of machines, then we can avoid making 50 different Kits.

      Additional Benefit

      QtC deploy feature is really good for small (1 to 100) deployments on embedded devices, it is easy to manage and It Just Works, BUT it's kind of messy with this Kit-Machine bonding.
