[10:29] <ktecho> Hi there. How's the upgrade of QT in bionic? I heard that it's needed for the latest kde plasma
[10:53] <acheronuk> ktecho: need to do it in cosmic 1st. that is WIP
[11:01] <ktecho> acheronuk: ok, understood. Thanks!
[18:33] <mitya57> lisandro: What can we do right now? Announce future changes, or make changes to existing (Qt 4 / Qt 5) packaging?
[18:34] <lisandro> contact upstream to ask them to please use <foo name>-qt6 or alike
[18:35] <lubot> <mitya57> I don’t think they will agree :(
[18:40] <mitya57> lisandro: 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] <lisandro> and do you remember why was that?
[18:40] <mitya57> (qtchooser never became official, and is mostly abandoned now)
[18:41] <mitya57> No I don’t, I was not working on Qt packaging at that time yet :)
[18:41] <lisandro> right!
[18:42] <lisandro> that was because f what I've said before: submodules maintainers did not consider the problem important enough for chaging stuff at the last minute
[18:42] <lisandro> that's because we reached them a few weeks before Qt 5.0.0
[18:43] <lisandro> granted, it doesn't means we are going to be successful this time
[18:43] <mitya57> Ok, maybe you are right then
[18:43] <mitya57> Please start a thread and I will follow it / reply if needed.
[18:44] <lisandro> I'll see to talk with sune first
[18:44] <lisandro> he might know better than I if it's worth the effort or no
[18:44] <mitya57> Makes sense.
