Anyway, the consensus: we have no idea of the mako state with xenial,

So given that my only ubuntu capable device is mako (I'm waiting for a new
ubuntu capable phone release), my current options are:

1. use devel img 8 from 2016-02.

2. Use rc-proposed with the latest working img

Then is there any reasonable way of pushing a newer version of qt in any of
them?  I actually only need to be able to import QtLocation 5.5 from the
qml part of my app, to be able to use the here maps plugin.

I found that there is a "Canonical Qt5 Edgers team" with a ppa apparently
used for Qt5 testing purposes... could it be a possible way to explore?


Thanks a lot for the help!

Best Regards,
Felipe.
