Bug Description
The Ubunru SDK IDE (QtCreator) should offer the list of supported frameworks for a target. The only link between the application and the target system is the click chroot.
The click chroot should have an API to list what frameworks it supports.
One workaround would be to install the ubuntu-
Installing the click and ubuntu-sdk-libs packages to the click chroot is a viable solution on new chroots but forcing an update and install new packages on an existing chroot would be risky and slow. Even if these packages are instaleld running the `click chroot -a [arch] -f [framework] run click framework list` to return the available frameworks is a very slow.
I think that is a good idea to provide information about this, I have a branch at lp:~mvo/click/frameworks.json that adds the information about deprecated/ current/ devel to the frameworks. Extending the branch to list that is simple enough. One open question for me is where the information about deprecated/ supported/ devel should life. It seems we can store it in the package or make it part of a webservice that we can update in a more dynamic fashion. If updates via sru are good enough, then this is not needed.
