Hi all,
For some time now Qt 5 has been in extended maintenance / support,
which Iif my understanding is correct has now come to an end.
Accordingly, given that all of our applications have now had a
substantial amount of time to migrate, and plenty of notice that CI
would be withdrawn eventually, i'd like to proceed with withdrawing CI
support for Qt 5.
This will free up valuable space on the CI nodes and allow us to
remove an image that is under very minimal, if any, maintenance.
Please let me know if there are any objections.
Hi,
for applications I agree to drop Qt5 CI. The few usages that are left
either already have Qt6 CI, or are more or less dead projects.
That said, we have a number of (Plasma) components that we still build
for Qt5 for (external) application compatibility (breeze,
plasma-integration, etc). So far we have not made a decision to stop
doing that, and I'd rather not lose CI for those. That doesn't mean we
need Qt5 CI in the current form. Could we use a distribution image with
Qt and the few necessary libraries/frameworks baked in? That would be a
much smaller image and easier to maintain than the current suse-qt515
image.
Cheers
Nico
