So how should we do it on our site, like for different version of Ubuntu should be a different installer?
Ali Diouri
@theshadowx
each installer uses the default version of Qt that comes with Ubuntu

@nuttyartist
Got you.
Ali Diouri
@theshadowx
for example 14.04 --> Qt 5.2.1 || 16.04 --> 5.5.1
this way the user won't need to look for outside repositories

@nuttyartist
Btw, are we loosing features by using older versions of Qt?
Yeah.
Ali Diouri
@theshadowx
well there are some, that make things easier, like for example network referencing --> update
for update we got the link from updates.json then we check if it is a reference to another link and then we download the installer with the referenced one.

But will our features work as expected? e.g. Automatic updates, multi-threading, etc...
Yes, I should update that, right after uploading the installers
Ali Diouri
@theshadowx
the new approach just tell the network to follow the link
and as result we get directly the installer

@nuttyartist
will it work for 14.04?
Ali Diouri
@theshadowx
all the feature you mentioned works
Ruby Mamistvalove
@nuttyartist
oh ok great

Ok, so I'm getting the installer for each Ubuntu version from the corresponding name, right? So for 14.04 I take the one from trusty, for 17.04 I take from zesty, and so on... Right?
Ali Diouri
@theshadowx
yep
Ruby Mamistvalove
@nuttyartist
Ok

What about Ubuntu software center, we still don't have any control there until we get our responses from @dplanella?
