Hi,

The next release of the Ubuntu SDK tools will have a long waited fix. 
The support of qmake project type is back in business.

The benefit of sopporting qmake project type alongside the cmake are
- Qt comes with ~600 example qmake projects and we want to enable them 
in the SDK
- qmake is more native to QtCreator, so adding new or removing files is 
possible
- Importing and porting existing qmak projects is simple

Note, that qmake is not going to replace cmake in the SDK story, it is 
just an option we offer. The cmake is still superior to qmake when it 
comes to crossbuilding.

The short demo is here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5wX0WqNjVk

If you want to try it, you will need to…

Add the SDK Testing PPA to your system
    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/testing
    $ sudo apt-get update
Update  few packages from that PPA
    $ sudo apt-get install click qtcreator qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu
Create a 15.04 click chroot
    $ sudo click chroot -a armhf -f ubuntu-sdk-15.04 create

After testing please remember to clean up…
    $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/testing


cheers,
