[OE-core] How to upgrade Qt modules in daisy branch

[Ankur Tyagi]

Hi,

Our product is based upon 'daisy' branch (I know it's pretty old !) and now
we have a need to support BLE in it (typical business case).

My inner-self says it's the right time to upgrade everything but from
business unit point of view, best would be to upgrade "just enough" to get
BLE working.

So I upgraded Bluez4.101 to Bluez5.46 which went well but when I started
upgrading QtConnectivity from v5.4.1 to v5.11.0 then things started falling
apart.

It seems from v5.8 onward, Qt adopted new configuration system which is
causing configuration and compilation failures when building QtConnectivity.
Following change in recipe doesn't work.

-PACKAGECONFIG[bluez] = "CONFIG+=OE_BLUEZ_ENABLED,,bluez4"
+PACKAGECONFIG[bluez] = "-feature-bluez,-no-feature-bluez,bluez5"


Is there a way I can upgrade QtConnectivity to v5.11 while staying on daisy
branch ? Or is it just not possible to do so ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Ankur
