[Bug 1302620] Re: [FFe] Remove remotelinux plugin and its dependencies from the QtC package

[Steve Langasek]

As far as I understand from this bug report, the remotelinux plugin
discussed here is still present upstream in qtcreator.  Is there
upstream agreement to remove this plugin from qtcreator in favor of the
version being developed out of tree at lp:qtcreator-plugin-remotelinux?
Or if not, are we losing any upstream functionality by substituting this
version for the upstream one?

If this change is not approved by upstream, should we in fact be
offering this as an alternative plugin (maybe under a different name in
order to not conflict), rather than replacing the in-tree one?

(Especially since you say it breaks ABI, I have doubts about whether
replacing the in-tree one is the best way.)

Provided we sort this issue out, I have no problem with the addition of
the new remotelinux plugin, and to have the other plugins integrate with
it.  I just don't want us to be introducing a divergence from upstream
at the last minute for 14.04 which may turn out to be a bad idea,
leaving us no time to change direction again.
