Another thought is the spectre of "long term stable" OS releases.
In various projects, I run into people who choose to run old software (otherwise known as "using a LTS distribution"), but at the same time insist on compiling the most recent release of X, and they expect X to build against old things. I'm not a fan of this, but it seems to be a signficant part of Linux culture. So qgis will have to think about how long qgis will build: against older qt5 stable branches (5.12?) against qt5 5.15 because stopping that will more or less mean people that choose old software can't easily run recent qgis (unless they use a secondary packaging system like pkgsrc that builds it all). I think this is fine; if you want old, therefore the older qgis is fine. But many people want it both ways. _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
