Qt Updater Design Issue

[jsshapiro]

This has bitten me one time too many...

-QT- Qt Updater deletes old component versions before downloading the new ones. If it fails during a later delete, or during download, knowledge of the deleted components is lost, and recovery has to be done by hand. What it should do is pull all of the downloads first and then do the deletes. In this way nothing gets lost.

Arrgh.

Did you consider filing a bug report on "JIRA":https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa ?

[jsshapiro]

Just did so. Figured I'd check here first in case people disagreed.
