Packages

Hyperbola is a LTS distro and we have our own packaging guidelines to maintain our releases . See 6th amendment about snapshots versions in our packaging guidelines for further details.

By the way, is it a package maintained by us? If it is not the case (eg. a package built from AUR), i suggest looking for a LTS version of that package, or try build a version released around May 2017.

It is a package you guys have. I am not entirely sure which qt5, so upgrading them all would be nice, but yeah, it is not from AUR as far as I know.

The latest stable image would be awesome from the qt5 website. IF you cannot do that though, I guess I could build from source. I just don't know how hard that would be.

ps, qt 5.9 is supported till 2020.

However, 5.8 is not supported anymore.

5.6 is supported till 2019 but its better to do 5.9 when possible. :)

Thanks for let me know, seems Qt 5.9 is a LTS version and therefore it should be used by default since our packaging guidelines (4th amendment) requires Hyperbola use LTS free software projects only; if available.

Since we have plans to upgrade our KDE Plasma to 5.8 LTS version (that is adapted for Milky Way), we should use the Qt 5.6 LTS that is required, not 5.9 LTS. [0] . Qt 5.9 LTS is another generation and should be used for our next release generation (Canis Major).

Yes you are right, Qt 5.9 LTS was released at 31th May 2017 [0] and is adapted to work against the new KDE Plasma 5.12 LTS that was released at 06th February 2018 [1] , both were released after our official snapshot of Milky Way that was 8th May 2017 [3]

Thank you for let us know.

okay, when is 0.4 coming out of curoisity?

That would be good to know.

I do wish you would move to 5.9 though at some point. But 5.6 is better than what we have now.

coadde is structuring our build server (it's 99% ready) for v0.3 that contains around 200 packages to be stabilized. If our build server will be ready the next week, then i think v0.4 will be released around August with all [extra] stabilized. Meanwhile, i could create some bugfixes for nextcloud split packages to solve your issue.

That would be helpful. Although, I actually need some update even for my nitrokey appimage package too.

QT 5.6 would be useful in general for a bunch of this stuff. But yeah, at least update it to 5.6 for 0.3 if possible.

I need it for the new nitrokey app.

I highly recommend you change it from 5.6 to 5.9 or better yet 5.12.

I think 5.6 has been deprecated by the qt devs.

I cannot even download 5.6 anymore. So there's that... :0

ps, Nextcloud-client 2.5.2 now depends on qtwebengine and qt 5.12

I wondered if you can change those things for any build added here. ;)
