[maemo-developers] How to to manually package Qt Mobility?

[From: Daniil Ivanov]

Hi!

This means application won't work without having connection after installation
and I guess Qvi Store QA is good enough to find that and reject the application.
Moreover, you would need root permissions to install additional packages, so
apparently there is need to modify sudoers settings, which may be seen as
security breakage.  If all these succeed I would be surprised.

Thanks, Daniil.
