|---|---|---|
| lubot | <mitya57> \o/ | 12:58 |
| lubot | <mitya57> As said earlier, I don't have time to look at it, but that may change in a few days. | 12:59 |
| lubot | <RikMills> Yeah, just put that there for info. Especially (as pointed out) no release email yet | 13:00 |
| lubot | <RikMills> As I say that, the email arrived! | 13:02 |
| lubot | <RikMills> https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-offering-changes-2020 | 16:28 |
| lubot | <mitya57> Oh! But there is one thing I don't understand: | 16:40 |
| lubot | <mitya57> > This means open-source users will receive patch-level releases of 5.15 until the next minor release will become available. … But there will be no minor release after 5.15. The next series will be 6.0. | 16:40 |
| lubot | <mitya57> If they drop support for 5.15 immediately after 6.0 is released, that will be sad. Maybe the new policy will apply only for later 6.x LTS releases? | 16:41 |
| lubot | <RikMills> I guess they want to kill off 5 ASAP for people who are not prepared to pay. | 16:45 |
| lubot | <mitya57> So the announcement needs removal of ‘minor’ word. … There is a related discussion on the ML, which I will follow. | 16:46 |
| lubot | <RikMills> I can see the logic. It is just a bit cynical | 16:47 |
| lubot | <mitya57> Yeah, I see that logic too. Nothing critical for us — we can always cherry-pick important fixes manually. And I guess someone will create a fork of 5.15 branch on GitHub when it gets closed. | 16:50 |
| lubot | <RikMills> Urgh. mailing list archives are so hard to follow! | 16:51 |
| lubot | <RikMills> @mitya57 [Yeah, I see that logic too. Nothing critical for us — we can always cherry-pick …], It will also make our current stays with LTS or go with newer, a less big choice | 16:52 |
| lubot | <mitya57> Right | 16:52 |
| fvogt | Yeah, the commericial-only LTS change needs some clarification. If it happens for 5.15 already, I'd propose that KDE forks it once Qt 6 is out | 17:54 |
| lubot | <JBBgameich> KDE has already set up mirrors, I don't know whether they will be kept as mirrors or repositories with commit access after Qt 6 is released though. | 19:02 |
| valorie | There is ongoing discussion between the Qt Company and the KDE Free Qt Foundation about this ^^^ | 22:09 |
| valorie | and that's all I can say | 22:10 |
| valorie | discussion/negotiation | 22:10 |
