Hi, you might have seen I asked* whether anyone knows a real world requirement to stick with Qt 5.13 as new current minimum required Qt version for current KF releases. So far no-one had to report a reason to support Qt >= 5.13 instead of only Qt >= 5.14 now. * E.g. https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2020-December/000894.html
So hereby I propose to switch for KF 5.78 to Qt 5.14 as minimum version, and change the KF dependencies policy text* to this: * https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Policies#Frameworks_Qt_requirements " With Qt6 this changes a little bit again. We interpolate "as if" more Qt 5 versions would be released. Then adapt to actual real world usage of a given Qt version: * Qt 5.13 will be the minimum required version 6 months after Qt 5.15, i.e. on 26 Nov 2020 * Qt 5.14 would be the minimum required version 12 months after Qt 5.15, i.e. on 26 May 2021. With no-one known to stick with Qt 5.13, the date is moved to earlier mid-December 2020. * Qt 5.15 LTS will be the minimum required version 18 months after its release, i.e. on 26 Nov 2021 " from previous " With Qt6 this changes a little bit again. We interpolate "as if" more Qt 5 versions would be released: * Qt 5.13 will be the minimum required version 6 months after Qt 5.15, i.e. on 26 Nov 2020 * Qt 5.14 will be the minimum required version 12 months after Qt 5.15, i.e. on 26 May 2021 * Qt 5.15 LTS will be the minimum required version 18 months after its release, i.e. on 26 Nov 2021 " I also propose that if no objections pop up until Monday, December 14th, CET Noon, we then go that day and update the policy and have our dependency bumping service people execute the bump to Qt 5.14. Your comments, please :) Cheers Friedrich
