ktechoHi there. How's the upgrade of QT in bionic? I heard that it's needed for the latest kde plasma10:29
acheronukktecho: need to do it in cosmic 1st. that is WIP10:53
ktechoacheronuk: ok, understood. Thanks!11:01
mitya57lisandro: What can we do right now? Announce future changes, or make changes to existing (Qt 4 / Qt 5) packaging?18:33
lisandrocontact upstream to ask them to please use <foo name>-qt6 or alike18:34
lubot<mitya57> I don’t think they will agree :(18:35
mitya57lisandro: note that even for Qt 4 and Qt 5 which had more incompatibilities, upstream did not provide any official way of co-installing them.18:40
lisandroand do you remember why was that?18:40
mitya57(qtchooser never became official, and is mostly abandoned now)18:40
mitya57No I don’t, I was not working on Qt packaging at that time yet :)18:41
lisandroright!18:41
lisandrothat was because f what I've said before: submodules maintainers did not consider the problem important enough for chaging stuff at the last minute18:42
lisandrothat's because we reached them a few weeks before Qt 5.0.018:42
lisandrogranted, it doesn't means we are going to be successful this time18:43
mitya57Ok, maybe you are right then18:43
mitya57Please start a thread and I will follow it / reply if needed.18:43
lisandroI'll see to talk with sune first18:44
lisandrohe might know better than I if it's worth the effort or no18:44
mitya57Makes sense.18:44
