Description

As far as I know these serve no purpose anymore. We should just shut them off. Not sure who I should cc to verify that assumption.

Since we're no longer shipping Meego builds, I think these have outlived their usefulness.

Is it hard to keep Qt builds? they are serving for making Meego N9/Qt mobile builds easier, so Qt builds are not broken after every second commit.
Also Meego seems not very dead after Jola company took Meego support and promised shipping new devices based on Qt.

Meant to add in the comment when attaching, that the patches were pending on final confirmation as to what we want to do. Similar to comment 0, I'm not entirely sure who we need to CC on this for approval either way (even if we keep Qt, we may still want to get rid of the RPM builds etc).

Qt not a Tier 1 platform for us (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Supported_build_configurations) and will not close the tree when there are issues with it. I assume that whomever it is that is doing the Meego N9/Qt mobile builds has some form of continuous integration, so can bugs not be filed based on its output?

bsmedberg started a thread on dev.planning to figure out what support level the QT builds should be at: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/mozilla.dev.planning/yMwsSHPPkCs

Remove qt support

There was nothing in the newsgroup thread indicating that these should be Tier 1 builds. I'm sorry to the folks that do find these useful, but we're going to go ahead and shut them off.

Landed both of these on the default branch. The next reconfig will merge them to production and stop the builds.
