That is good news, since I don't use master I didn't know about it.
IMO plasma-active is way out of scope for a qt-mobility test case,
good that there is at least one other recipe using qt-mobility..



(Unrelated to your post)
How would an automatic Qt test look in oe-core?
Qt ships a lot examples with the sources, are they sufficient for testing?
They cannot cover everything, but it depends on to what extend we want to test.

For the qt4-native recipe IMO kdelibs4-native isn't a bad test.
Since only a few binaries out of the huge project will be built it
shouldn't be too special or "too big".



Off topic: Do we want to support Qt5 parallel with Qt4 when it is
released soon [1]?
