I agree on the "it compiles", but those at fault are the OpenSSL developers for suddenly breaking source compatibility with no grace period. See https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg36437.html for someone else complaining about the same issue (no, not Theo). From Qt's point of view, it's a large refactoring of a central piece of technology. We couldn't add it to the stable release without further testing. Timing also didn't help: Qt 5.9 had already been feature frozen for almost two months when the patch was first uploaded (no idea when the author first began working on it). > Can you point me to the actual patch that is clean enough to backport? Lubomir sent the link, which includes all 63 iterations of the patch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/189399 Patch and diff links in http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/? id=cfbe03a6e035ab3cce5f04962cddd06bd414dcea -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
