Hi guys!

I am third party developer (as well as core app developer in RSS Reader
team), and I want to participate in
Ubuntu App Showdown (already participating to be strict).
My app uses qml extension plugin as well, can someone help me with
packaging?
Seems that currently there are no way to build click package with C++
plugin via SDK tools.
Big thanks!
