Hi, I'm refactoring the CUPS printing code (more on that in another email) and noticed we don't currently have a minimum required version set, i.e. we're currently restricted to the 1.0 api released in 1999. CUPS is now at 1.7. There's some nicer api I'd like to use from 1.2 and 1.4, so for Qt 5.3 I want to set a minimum version of 1.4, which was released in 2008 and adopted by most Linux distros in 2009/2010.
The problem comes with RHEL. RHEL 6 has CUPS 1.4, but RHEL 5 only has 1.3. I note on http://qt.digia.com/Product/Supported-Platforms/ that RHEL 5 is shown as a secondary supported platform in 5.1, albeit using a number of self-built unsupported packages. Any change to require CUPS 1.4 would effectively render RHEL 5 unsupported, or at least without the option of printing support. Would this be acceptable, or should I only set the minimum at 1.3? Cheers! John. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
