Hi all,
Hi Peyton,
Sorry if this is a naive question, but qwt is currently being built with
Qt5, which is nearing end-of-life, while Qt6 has been out for a while. I'd
like for qwt to be built with Qt6, but I'm not sure if this means the
package is out-of-date strictly speaking, so I figured I'd ask here before
marking the package as such. What's the right way to deal with this?
Personally, I would rather open a bug for this. Reasons:
* if there are any obstacles regarding building with Qt6, a bug is more
appropriate to bundle issues, discussions, efforts, ...
* technically speaking, the package is not outdated (yet)
* If for whatever reason qt5 got removed from the repositories and the
package still was not rebuilt, it would *definitely* be a bug.
* If for whatever reason, you're wrong, the maintainer can close your bug
and tell you (and everyone else), what's wrong, in the reason.
Best,
- Peyton

Erich
