    I should take the installer from here, right? @theshadowx
    https://travis-ci.org/nuttyartist/notes/builds/265315114

    @nuttyartist
    @theshadowx I'm waiting for your approval that this is the right place to take the installers from.
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    yes
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    Cool
    wait, what package should I put here for linux?

    @theshadowx
    hmm big problem
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    Yes... I though we may resort to 16.04 and write on the website that only this version would get automatic updates...
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    I think trusty as I think the dependencies will be satisfied
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    But the trusty package has problems with Unity (nad maybe others) and that's where most of the people
    If someone from 16.04
    will be running our trusty package
    what will happen?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    he/she will need to install qt5.5.1 packages
    which are not in the base official repo
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    isn't it the default on 16.04?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    ouch sorry
    it will be installed a problem
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    What do you mean?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    as in the dependencies there ">=" for the version
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    Aren't 16.04 satisfy the trusty dependencies?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    yes
    it's the opposite that won't work
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    Ok, ok. SO 16.04, 16.10 17.04 all will run trusty package without a problem?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    yes
    to be sure let me do a quick check
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    Cool, I wonder if we install the trusty package on Ubuntu Unity 16.04
    will we have problems with that, can you check that?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    I think we won't get the problem seen in 14.04
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    If not, then we go with the trusty, can you test that?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    ok
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    it worked without the both issues (stretching and systemtrayicon)

    great! So I will put the trusty for in the UPDATES.json file. Yet now what is the reason for us to put versions other than 14.04 on our site if they all going to update to 14.04?

    Since I'm going to sleep now I will publish everything tomorrow which is a still good of a day (traffic wise).

    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    there are two ways to handle this issue, either send the user to the website and then it's up to the user to choose the installer that suit to the OS used or check the version of the OS and then set in the updates.json the link to that is adequate to the os version detected.
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    Of course, the second option is the best one, for the user.
    How hard/easy it is to detect different versions of Ubuntu?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    I think there should be a way to detect the version of the OS
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    I think it's important to do that.
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsysinfo.html#productVersion
    but it was added in Qt5.4
    so we can't use it in trusty
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    Shit... :worried:
    But it's great they added it anyway
    There must be a linux customized way to do that, but we need to brace ourselves for messiness.
    I'm having thoughts about dropping automatic updates for 14.04
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    14.04 is still supported till 2019
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    The question is how much are using it. @theshadowx I think we discussed in the past about a way to detect Ubuntu version and came up with some ways, aren't we?
    Ali Diouri
    @theshadowx
    I think it was for DE, but of course there should be an easy way to detect the OS version
    Ruby Mamistvalove
    @nuttyartist
    mmm yes, right.
