Indeed, but that is putting the burden on us. They should instead insist with their vendors to get a newer platform and put the burden on them. Or next time, make sure you use a device that can run Linux so you can easily rebuild with Yocto -- every 6 months you get a new toolchain and sysroot with the latest updates. I'm going to say that if you chose a vendor that won't upgrade, it's your fault and you should live with the consequences. Anyway, every time this comes up, the answer is the same: we will drop those platforms once they become too much of a burden to support and prevent us from doing new things. That's why OS X 10.6 went away. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
