| 1 | = QtWebKit Packaging = |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The goal of the packaging is to take a version of WebKit and produce a tar/zip file that contains the source in a way that makes it easy for third-party developers to compile and install. After installation it should be easy to use the produced library in the application. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | In addition we should think about building binary packages from that source package, including perhaps the option of providing binaries that can be installed on devices. |

| 7 | == Source Package Requirements == |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * A source package should be self-contained and not depend on other source package. |
| 10 | * It should be possible to compile the package against an installed version of Qt. |
| 11 | * No additional tools should be required for the build, beyond what is needed for building Qt applications. |
| 12 | * After the build and installation of the source package it should be possible to use the new QtWebKit installation through simple "QT += webkit" use in the .pro file. |

| 14 | == Packaging Steps == |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The {{{make-package}}} tool from http://gitorious.org/qtwebkit/tools is currently used to create source packages. It assumes the availability of the source code in a Git repository. |

| 18 | 1. qmake is run to generate all the automatically generated code. |
