Ubuntu – What’s the difference between OptionSelector and ItemSelector

Those three commands are intended as three levels of "officialness" to your release.

share

share does 2 main things:

1. Packages your software with a version suffix like -public1
2. Uploads that package to a PPA

So it's good for quickly getting code to testers. Ideally you'd use a separate PPA from your normal releases.

release

release does the same thing as share except:

1. Updates your version with a real version number like 12.04 (or whatever number you provide)
2. Saves your changes to bzr and tags it with the version number
3. Pushes a tarball of your release to your Launchpad project page

So it's good for releasing a version of your software that is ready for prime time.

submitubuntu

submitubuntu does the same thing as release except:

1. The PPA package of your software will be setup to make it easier for the App Review Board to accept (installs your software in /opt, adds certain metadata flags, etc)

So this is good for releasing a version of your software that you also intend to submit to the ARB. Note that this does not automatically submit it. It just makes packaging changes to make the ARB process quicker once you do. You will then need to point the ARB to the PPA into which you uploaded.

If you just want to test those packaging changes (like /opt), but without actually releasing, use quickly package --extras.

This is not an answer to your question since the dialog text is not directly changed, but it might be an answer to your problem, since the dialog text changes itself dynamically :-)

Assuming that you have some item that triggeres the onSomethingHappened, you could connect properties of the dialog to properties of the item.

Example:

Item {
  Component {
     id: dialog
     Dialog {
        id: dialogue
        title: someID.dialogTitle
        text: someID.dialogText
        Button {
            text: "cancel"
            onClicked: PopupUtils.close(dialogue)
        }
     }
  }
}

SomeItem {
  id: someID
  property string dialogTitle
  property string dialogText
  onSomethingHappened: {
     dialogTitle = "Hello David"
     dialogText = "Whats up?"
     PopupUtils.open(dialog)
  }
}
