[oi-dev] Any interest for Qt 4.8.6 in hipster ?

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hi Alexander,
I would basically update Qt following the requirements of the scientific
software I use, so that would be once a year or so.
I cannot promise to update every minor.

Regarding the size, the total is 486M, but as you see:

larcher at na75:> du -sh /opt/qt/4.8.6/*
43M    /opt/qt/4.8.6/bin
938K    /opt/qt/4.8.6/imports
14M    /opt/qt/4.8.6/include
109M    /opt/qt/4.8.6/lib
319M    /opt/qt/4.8.6/share
1.8M    /opt/qt/4.8.6/tests

The documentation is 308M.

I can look at splitting Qt to different packages but any help would be
appreciated.
Best regards

Aurelien
