They're here for those who are interested: https://launchpad.net/~beineri I've only tried those builds briefly, and it was quite a while ago (they install to /opt btw).

It's true, however, that a lot of stuff is going to be pulled alongside. It also means no metapackages, though, so I'd agree it's a risk/work that's probably not worth it. I'd say building yourself is probably faster/safer in that context (or even pulling it through the Qt maintenance tool). Correct me if I'm wrong but also trying to "ignore" the deps may work in some cases, depending on how far stable is behind testing. ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest

With my Debian Qt maintainer hat on: I'm afraid there is no official repo for that. I once tried to provide backports but that would mean that many packages would need to get rebuilt against the new Qt version, which seems not possible to do on Debian backports. Backporting Qt 5.10/11 to stable also requires a new dpkg due to the changes we did in order to be able to cross compile using plain Debian packages + multi arch. With my personal hat on: I would *love* to provide a PPA-like semi-official repo for this, but Debian currently lacks PPAs/bikesheds in order to do that, and my build power is limited t a 10 years old machine, so not for now. But yes, I do get lots of requests for this :-( > Pin debian testing repos with a low priority in the apt configuration and > you can get the binaries from there. Current it 5.11.2. Only if you really know what you are doing. If you use KDE stuff (kwin for example) you will certainly have to upgrade it, and thus half your system, because it uses Qt's private methods.

[Interest] Updated Debian packages or ppa for Qt 5.9+
Does anyone know of a repository for updated Qt packages for Debian stable (stretch / 9)? I thought I remembered reading of one on this list not too long ago, but I checked the archives and can't find it now. Debian 9 has only Qt 5.7. I'd like to get on 5.9 at least, and I would prefer to have deb packages rather than using the installer or building my own from source. Thanks Hamish ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
