Vorta-Go

An implementation of Vorta in Golang to improve deployment and packaging.

Functional, but still missing some features. Use the Python version if you need something that works.

Progress

Development

1. Follow the official steps to set up a Go project in Module Mode. E.g. for macOS

export GO111MODULE=on
go install -v -tags=no_env github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/...
go mod vendor
git clone https://github.com/therecipe/env_darwin_amd64_513.git vendor/github.com/therecipe/env_darwin_amd64_513

2. Test app using $ qtdeploy -debug -uic=false -quickcompiler test
3. Package for deployment $ qtdeploy -uic=false -quickcompiler build or make darwin

Important folders:

• /ui has .ui files provided by Qt Designer
• /qml has icons and other assets

Deployment

See the Makefile for different deployment options. Needs Docker installed. E.g.

• $ make darwin
• $ make linux DISTRO=archlinux

For Linux, Qt5 is linked dynamically to match your distro's look and feel. Install required Qt5 packages like this:

• Ubuntu/Debian: $ apt install qt5-default libqt5qml5
• Archlinux: $ pacman -S qt5
• Fedora: $ yum install qt5-qtbase

Translations (work in progress)

• extract strings: lupdate -extensions ui ui/*.ui -ts qml/i18n/ui_en.ts
• merge .ts files: lconvert -i primary.ts secondary.ts -o complete.ts
• compile .ts to .qm: lrelease qml/i18n/ui_de.ts -qm qml/i18n/ui_de.qm
