Hi Aurélien,
Thanks for the initiative on updating Qt for hipster, as we had a stale
Q
t 4.7.4 on oi151a9 /dev distro. However, I vote up
the idea of
Andreas Wacknitz to target higher / newer versions of Qt 5.x for general
use, as it would need less maintaining in the future. Is there any
particular hurdle that would make this more difficult than porting Qt
4.8.6? Also, may we know what "scientific software" depends on having Qt,
and does it need version 4.8.6 in particular?
I am looking into bringing newer Qt packages for both /dev and /hipster.
Please keep us updated, Thanks!
- Seth Nimbosa
