Re: [Ayatana-dev] Unity-2D and Qt5

[Florian Boucault <florian.boucault@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrea,

These are great steps.
I don't know if anyone is working on any of these at the moment.
I would like to add one task which is to test Unity 2D + Qt5 + 
mesa-llvmpipe which is likely to be the default configuration we will 
have to support around 12.10.
