[DONE] What happened to the linux installer

[calhaus]

Same xcb problem.

I think we should go with the dynamic app.
For a clean Ubuntu (and Mint) 14.04 and 14.10 (and probably 1 year recent distros) everything is already included and works fine.

elementaryOS release luna is still based on ubuntu 12.04, it's kind of old. and they don't even have qt5 stuff on the repos. :/

Tried the new upcoming elementary (Freya), it got dependency issues, easily solved by installing "qt5-default"
If users got dependencies problems, it shows in the terminal output which ones are and they can go and install what's missing, and "qt5-default" should install everything needed for it to work.

In my opinion it's easy to use a small installer and include a readme file telling people to install "qt5-default" if they have faulty dependencies,it's needs to get only 19.8MB of files (84MB extracted), not that much, smaller that the static executable and most systems dont even need it .
(Also it's easier for users to compile the git version dynamically).
