"I think that the Qt library dependencies were also rather old, were they 
not? 
After a while, it becomes a huge burden to try and deliver packages based on

older libraries and frameworks that the distributions have deprecated and 
then 
removed."



Hi,

QtMoko used latest Qt 4.7




It is IMO quite fine for maintenance, because they are bundled with QtMoko 
and

they don't conflict with system Qt libs (which run on X11/wayland) while 
QtMoko uses

Qt that runs on framebuffer.




But of course such old version does not get any security patches 
automatically.




I regulary check PinePhone blog, but i am quite disappointed with it's power
management

state. I am used to charge my phone like twice a week and i need it to stay 
with

display on for like 10 hours. Otherwise it's just toy and i am not much 
interested..




If i was doing software for open phone i'd make basic monolithic telephony

app (calls, SMS) that works directly with the modem, with one HW hardcoded.

No plugins no frameworks just keep it simple. Then run regular linux desktop

and switch between the phone and desktop. I think it worked quite well with

QtMoko...
