Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade qbs -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.23.1'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade qbs -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.23.1'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

qbs 1.17.0

General

  • The lookup order in PathProbe changed to [environmentPaths,
    searchPaths, platformEnvironmentPaths, platformSearchPaths].
  • The pathPrefix and platformPaths properties have been removed from the
    PathProbe item. They were deprecated since Qbs 1.13.
  • The protocBinary property in the protobuf module has been renamed to
    compilerPath.
  • A new module capnp for Cap'n Proto in C++ applications has been added.
    Cap'n Proto is a serialization protocol similar to protobuf.
  • The qbs-setup-android tool got a --system flag to install profiles
    system-wide similar to qbs-setup-qt and qbs-setup-toolchains.

Language

  • The product and project variables are now available on the
    right-hand-side of moduleProvider expressions and the default scope is
    product (QBS-1587).

C/C++ Support

  • Lots of improvements have been made on toolchain support for
    bare-metal devices in general. Bare-metal targets can be selected by
    setting qbs.targetPlatform to 'none'.
  • KEIL: The ARMCLANG, C166 and C251 toolchains are now supported.
  • IAR: National's CR16, Microchip's AVR32, NXP's M68K, Renesas'
    M8/16C/M32C/R32C/SuperH targets and RISC-V targets are now supported.
  • GCC: National's CR16, NXP M68K, Renesas M32C/M32R/SuperH/V850 as well
    as RISC-V and Xtensa targets are now supported.
  • MSVC: Module definition files can now be used to provide the linker
    with information about exports and attributes (QBS-571).
  • MSVC: "/external:I" is now used to set system include paths (QBS-1573).

    deduplicated (QBS-1552).
  • Xcode: Support for Xcode 12.0 has been added (QBS-1582).

Qt Support

  • The Qt for Android modules have been cleaned up. Support for ARMv5, MIPS and
    MIPS64 targets has been removed (QBS-1496).
  • Initial support for Qt6 has been added.

Android Support

  • A packageType property has been added to the Android.sdk module which
    allows to create Android App bundles (aab) instead of apk packages
    only.
  • A aaptName property has been added to the Android.sdk module which
    allows to use aapt2 (QBS-1562) since aapt has been deprecated.

Documentation

  • New bare-metal examples have been added and existing examples have
    been ported to more toolchains.
  • A new how-to about cpp.rPaths has been added (QBS-1204).
  • Various minor improvements have been made.

    property (QBS-1572).
  • The visual studio generator has been fixed to work with Visual Studio
    16.6 (QBS-1569).
  • Fixed extraction of build information from CONFIG and QT_CONFIG
    variables in Qt installations (QBS-1387).

qbs 1.16.0

General

  • A new freedesktop module helps UNIX application developers to follow the
    freedesktop.org guidelines.
  • The Android module now allows resourcesDir, sourcesDir and assetsDir to be
    specified as relative paths.
  • A new ConanfileProbe allows better and more flexible integration of Qbs and
    the Conan package manager.
  • A new hostArchitecture property has been added to the qbs module.

Language

  • List properties in modules are now merged according to inter-module
    dependencies. This is important when flags like cpp.staticLibraries are
    contributed by multiple modules with dependencies between each other.
    (QBS-1517).
  • Dependency matching of multiplexed products is now less strict and does not
    require all multiplex properties to match. For instance, if product A is
    multiplexed over qbs.architecture and qbs.buildVariant while product B is only
    multiplexed over one of these axes, then Qbs no longer fails (QBS-1515).

C/C++ Support

  • The Renesas RL78 architecture is now supported in GCC and IAR and the
    toolchains are auto-detected by qbs-setup-toolchains.
  • The Renesas RX as well as the RH850, V850, 78K are now supported in IAR and
    the toolchains are auto-detected by qbs-setup-toolchains.
  • The MPLAB X32 GCC-based toolchain is now auto-detected on Windows.
  • Multiple occurrences of static libraries on the linker command line are now
    pruned and the last instance always wins when using GCC or LLVM-based
    toolchains. This avoids problems with excessively long linker command lines
    (QBS-1273).
  • Clang-cl and MSVC toolchains use the compiler frontend instead of the linker
    when linking. The old behavior can be restored by setting cpp.linkerMode to
    "manual". This allows to use sanitizers with clang-cl by passing
    "-fsanitise=xxx" via cpp.driverFlags (QBS-1522).
  • The clang-cl toolchain now uses "link.exe" as the default linker.
    "lld-link.exe" can be explicitly selected by setting cpp.linkerVariant to
    "lld" (QBS-1522).
  • The MSVC, clang-cl and MinGW toolchains are now automatically detected if the
    profile does not set an explicit installation location, for instance because
    no profile was given.
  • Installation of separate debug information can now be enabled and configured
    by simply setting the installDebugInformation and debugInformationInstallDir
    properties in the Application and Library convenience items. This works for
    toolchains based upon GCC, MSVC or clang-cl.
  • Xcode version 11.4 is now supported on macOS.

Qt Support

  • Qbs now supports Qt 5.14 for Android which comes as a multi-architecture
    package. The qbs-setup-android tool has been updated accordingly (QBS-1497).
  • JSON metatype files generated by moc (Qt >= 5.15) are supported by setting
    Qt.core.generateMetaTypesFile and Qt.core.metaTypesInstallDir (QBS-1531).
  • Pure debug builds of Qt (>= 5.14) with MinGW are now properly supported. They
    don't have the 'd' suffix (QTBUG-80792).
  • The QML type declaration mechanism introduced in Qt 5.15 is now supported by
    the Qt.qml module (QBS-1531).
  • Generated qmltypes files are now named according to the product's targetName
    property (QTBUG-82710).

Documentation

  • The how-to chapter has been extended with sections about debugging Qbs files
    and about building separate debug information in C++ projects.
  • The item and module reference documentation has been improved for the
    cpp.libraryPaths, cpp.dynamicLibraries (QBS-1516), qbs.toolchainType and
    qbs.toolchain properties as well as the Export item and the Library
    convenience item.
  • Documentation for various path probes has been added (QBS-1187).
  • The README was extended and a CONTRIBUTING file has been added which provides
    useful information for potential contributors. This is important for people
    looking at our github mirror.

Infrastructure

  • The Debian Docker image has been removed.
  • We are now using ccache and clcache in our CI pipelines to shrink the build
    time.
  • Clang-tidy is now used to identify potential problems in the code base and a
    lot of action was taken upon a lot of findings.
  • A Docker image for testing Qbs with Android and Qt has been added.

Important Bug Fixes

  • Fix nullpointer access and heap-use-after-free error (QBS-1485).
  • Select the right instance when Depends.profiles is used on a dependency with
    an aggregator product (QBS-1513).
  • Fix crash when specifying a non-existing profile in Depends.profiles
    (QBS-1514).
  • Try harder to detect GCC toolchains in qbs-setup-toolchains (QBS-1524).
  • Code signing for Core Foundation Bundles on macOS has been fixed.
  • Automatic artifact scanning now prefers artifacts from product dependencies if
    multiple candidates are found. This improves dependency tracking in complex
    projects (QBS-1532).
  • The grpcIncludePath property in the probufcpp module has been fixed
    (QBS-1542).
  • Qbs does no longer crash when accessing a property of a non-existent module in
    "IDE mode".

  • Added IDE project generators for KEIL uVision v4 for ARM and 8051
    architectures.
  • Added more bare metal project examples for various target platforms.
  • The IAR, KEIL and SDCC toolchains are now found automatically in various.
    locations by the setup-toolchains command and by probes if no installPath is

qbs 1.11.0

General

  • Added qbs.targetPlatform and qbs.hostPlatform properties which are scalar versions of
    qbs.targetOS and qbs.hostOS. qbs.targetPlatform is a "write-only" property that can be used
    to set the OS/platform that is being targeted, while qbs.targetOS and qbs.hostOS should
    continue to be used to read the OS/platform that is being targeted.
    qbs.targetOS is also now read-only.
  • The "run" functionality as used by the command-line command of the same name now considers
    an executable's library dependencies, that is, it adds the paths they are located in to the
    respective environment variable (e.g. PATH on Windows).

Language

  • Modules can now declare target artifacts using the new filesAreTargets property of the
    Group item.
  • The Module.setupRunEnvironment script now has a new parameter config. Users can set it via the
    --setup-run-env-config option of the run command. The only value currently supported
    is ignore-lib-dependencies, which turns off the abovementioned injection of library
    dependencies' paths into the run environment.
  • Module.setupBuildEnvironment and Module.setupRunEnvironment now have access to the product
    and project variables. With regards to accessing module properties, these script now behave
    like rules, rather than normal properties.
  • Added the BinaryFile service for reading and writing binary data files.
  • The SubProject item now has a condition property.

C/C++ Support

  • Added property cpp.rpathOrigin which evaluates to @loader_path on Darwin and $ORIGIN
    on other Unix-like platforms.
  • Added the qbs.toolchainType property, which is a scalar version of the qbs.toolchain
    property and is used to set the current toolchain.

  • We now properly support "c++17" as a possible value of cpp.cxxLanguageVersion.
  • The auto-detection mechanism for GCC-like compilers now considers typical mingw prefixes.

Qt Support

  • Added the Qt.scxml.generateStateMethods property to back the --statemethods option.

Command-line interface

  • Added property cpp.discardUnusedData abstracting linker options that strip unneeded symbols
    or sections.
  • Added property cpp.variantSuffix for making binary names unique when multiplexing products.
  • Added property cpp.compilerDefinesByLanguage providing the compiler's pre-defined macros.

Android

  • The deprecated apkbuilder tool is no longer used.

Qt

  • Added support for the Qt Quick compiler.
  • Added support for qmlcachegen.

Command-line interface

  • Removed some non-applicable options from a number of tools.
  • The run command can now deploy and run Android apps on devices, and deploy and run iOS and
    tvOS apps on the simulator.

  • Fix explicitly specified build variant being ignored for Darwin targets (QBS-1202).
  • Fix building for the AVR architecture (QBS-1203).

qbs 1.9.0

General

  • Setting module property values from the command line can now
    be done per product.
  • Introduced new properties qbs.architectures and qbs.buildVariants
    to allow product multiplexing by qbs.architecture and qbs.buildVariant,
    respectively.
  • When rebuilding a project, the environment, project file and property
    values are taken from the existing build graph.

Language

  • Depends items can now be parameterized to set special module parameters
    for one particular product dependency. The new item type Parameter
    is used to declare such parameters in a module. The new item type
    Parameters is used to allow products to set default values for
    such parameters in their Export item.
  • The functions loadExtension and loadFile have been deprecated and
    will be removed in a future version. Use the require function instead.

Custom Rules and Commands

  • Artifacts corresponding to the explicitlyDependsOn property
    are now available under this name in rules and commands.
  • A rule's auxiliaryInputs and explicitlyDependsOn tags
    are now also matched against rules of dependencies, if these rules are
    creating target artifacts.
  • Rules now have a property requiresInputs. If it is false, the rule will
    be run even if no artifacts are present that match its input tags.
  • Added a new property relevantEnvironmentVariables to the Command class.
    Use it if the command runs an external tool whose behavior can be
    influenced by special environment variables.

C/C++ Support

  • Added the cpp.link parameter to enable library dependencies to be
    excluded from linking.
  • When pulling in static library products, the new Depends parameter
    cpp.linkWholeArchive can now be specified to force all the library's
    objects into the target binary.
  • When pulling in library products, the new Depends parameter
    cpp.symbolLinkMode can now be specified to control how the library
    is linked into the target binary on Apple platforms: specifically,
    whether the library is linked as weak, lazy, reexported, and/or
    upward (see the ld64 man page for more information).
  • The property cpp.useCxxPrecompiledHeader, as well as the variants for the
    other languages, now defaults to true.
  • The property cpp.cxxLanguageVersion now gets mapped to MSVC's /std option,
    if applicable.

Apple

  • Added support for building macOS disk images.

Android

  • Product multiplexing is no longer done via profiles, but via architecture,
    employing the new qbs.architectures property (see above). As a result,
    the setup-android command now sets up only one profile, rather than
    one for each architecture.
  • Added support for NDK Unified Headers.

Documentation

  • Added a "How-to" section.

* Tentative support for Visual Studio 2017.
* We now assume UTF-8 encoding for project files.
* In Scanner items, input.fileName now contains
a filename rather than the full path.
* Warnings encountered during project resolving are now stored
and re-displayed when the project is loaded.
* Documentation was improved in several places, most
notably for the Rule item.

Important bug fixes:
* Long paths on Windows are handled (QBS-1068).
* Cyclic module dependencies are detected (QBS-1044).

qbs 1.6.1

Features:
* Added cpp.linkerWrapper property.
Important bug fixes:
* Fixed a number of bugs evaluating module properties (QBS-845, QBS-1005).
* Fixed x86_64 > x86 cross compiling (QBS-1028).
* Fixed dynamic rules with generated inputs (QBS-1029).

qbs 1.6.0

  • Added lex_yacc module.
  • Introduced property cpp.systemRunPaths.
  • Introduced the ability to check a module's version in a Depends item.
  • Introduced cpp.driverFlags, which allows specifying flags to be
    passed to the compiler driver (in any mode), but never the system linker.
  • Introduced cpp.linkerMode property to allow selection of the
    correct linker (C driver, C++ driver, or system linker) based on the
    objects being linked.
  • Added automatic escaping of arguments passed to the
    cpp.linkerFlags and cpp.platformLinkerFlags properties using the -Wl
    or -Xlinker syntaxes. To revert to the old behavior,
    Project.minimumQbsVersion can be set to a version lower than 1.6.
  • Each build configuration now requires a unique name, which
    is specified on the command line in the same place that qbs.buildVariant
    used to be specified. This allows building for multiple configurations
    with the same variant.

This package has no dependencies.
