FYI, we've been taking assistant out of Qt 6.0.
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-86746 . It's not depending on
any particular Qt version, so my suggestion is to resurrect it (if
there's enough demand) outside of qt5.git.
Could you please clarify: Can building Qt Asistant be enabled by a
configuration option? Is it still build as part of CI?
Currently not. I think it should be completely removed from qttools -
disabling the build was just the quickest way for the 6.0 release.
I wouldn't mind if Assistant would actually be moved to a different repository.
But so far, it is only a suggestion.
Yes, because the priority Is currently to get Qt 6.0 out.
Now with all Qt help links changed to the online version, how is Qt
Assistant/QTextBrowser limiting Qt's documentation at all, justifying
its removal from the build (so late in the Qt 6 release process)?
The reason why we removed Qt Assistant in the beta phase is that I don't
think it should be part of Qt 6.
Do you want to remove it from "Qt 6", from "Qt 6.0", or from "Qt 6.0.0"?
For Qt 6. I just don't see a good reason that Qt Assistant should be shipped
and built as part of the Qt libraries.
There has been no deprecation of this Qt feature AFAIK.
Alright, I see now that we should probably have discussed this on this mailing
list beforehand, my fault.
Still, I think that removing of Qt Assistant in Qt 6.0 is only a 'blocker' for
the developers that ship Qt Assistant binaries as a help viewer for their own
content. If you are one of them, please speak up at
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-88406 , so we can prioritize accordingly.
IMO this also needs to be brought to the attention of the qt-interest
mailing list. People using Qt Assistant for their application
documentation are more likely to read that list. However, I'm not
subscribed there.
