Properly package Quick Event orienteering management software
a project by LPechacek
Updated over 3 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.

It ain't rocket science, it ain't thrilling, it's just useful.

Quick Event is an established orienteering management software but it is still distributed in non-standard form for Linux distros. Package the software in standard packages for major distributions.

Plan:

1) add install targets into qmake project files

2) review shared library/plugin loading code

3) create RPM, and possibly other, packages

4) (optional) build for non-x86 platforms

One of the tools has already been packaged at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ppisa/qsqlmon. Leverage work done on the package by extending it over the whole suite.

    Create an Android app for Syncthing as part of the Syncthing Tray project by mkittler

    Description

    There's already an app but code/features already in Syncthing Tray could be reused to create a nicer app with additional features like managing ignore patterns more easily. The additional UI code for the app could then in turn be re-used by other parts of Syncthing Tray, e.g. to implement further steps in the wizard as requested by some users. This way one "UI wrapper codebase" could serve GNU/Linux, Windows and Android (and in theory MacOS) at the same time which is kind of neat.

    Goals

    • DONE: Learn more about development for Android and development of UIs with Qt Quick
    • DONE: Create an experimental app reusing as much existing Syncthing Tray code as possible
    • DONE: Build Syncthing as a library also for Android and use it in the app (already done but needs further testing and integration with the rest of the app configuration)
    • DONE: Update the Syncthing Tray website, documentation
    • DONE: Extend the app so it has at least a start page and an import
    • Update forum thread
    • DONE: Upload an experimental build on GitHub
    • Extend the Syncthing API to download single files on demand (instead of having to sync the whole directory or use ignore patterns)
    • Bring back parts of the newly developed mobile UI back to Syncthing Tray on the desktop to fully benefit from the cross-platform development
      • Add UI to add/edit folders and devices in desktop tray app
      • Add UI to show out-of-sync items in desktop tray app
      • Create an alternative "AppWindow" tailored for desktop platforms reusing UI components developed for the mobile app
