    Description

      Creating online repositories or offline installers take long time as the packaging needs to:

      1) extract build artifacts
      2) prepend the rest of the installation path, e.g. "5.6/android_armv7"
      3) re-create the payload archive per installer component

      Especially on windows this takes hours per Qt snapshot.

      We could eliminate these steps completely by defining additional metadata per installer component.

      Example:

      qt.56.win32_msvc2013

      • package.xml:
        <TargetDir>5.6/win32_msvc2013</TargetDir>

      Now when the installer extracts the payload it can add this <TargetDir> into the path if defined (backwards compatible change).

      This would speed a lot creating installers/online repositories.
