That summarizes the dilemma well. RHEL/CentOS 7 is pretty much the “last stand”
for distro-supported Qt versions earlier than 5.
The official answer re: Rivendell v4.x is “when it’s ready”. Spring of this
year seems a reasonable timeframe, but it all depends on what issues continue
to get sussed out in testing. I have begun putting it into some (quite
constrained) “on-air” environments, where it has mostly worked pretty well, but
also uncovered a couple of significant issues (being worked on).
I wish I had more definite advice for you, but that’s the reality at the moment.
Cheers!
