Per framework exceptions will likely lead to confusion as to which compilers must be used for which framework. Plus, if we do get CI implemented for Windows at some point, having different compilers around is just a recipe for problems. > >> The fact that we don't have a CI to test it just shows even more that we >> need to raise the minimum requirement. > > That's a very wrong line of argument...

Raising the requirement would be a valid argument if we had a Windows CI system that ran a given version (assuming we couldn't downgrade it or do any testing with the older version). In this case, we don't have a Windows CI system so this line of reasoning leads very quickly to the conclusion of: we should only support (and therefore publish minimum requirements for) those systems we CI test for. Which at the moment is just gcc 4.8 on Linux. > >> Cheers >> Martin >> _______________________________________________ >> Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list >> Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org >> https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel > > -- > Kévin Ottens, http://ervin.ipsquad.net > > KDAB - proud supporter of KDE, http://www.kdab.com Cheers, Ben > > > _______________________________________________ > Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list > Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel > _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
