We test the variants noted by "kf5-qt5" and "stable-kf5-qt5" in the build metadata for Qt. In regards to building against multiple versions - this should be simplified in part by Scarlett's work as part of her SoK which should make things like this easier to implement in the future. The scripts which actually power our system will need adjusting still of course, but the weirdness in Jenkins itself will be eliminated. Specifying how the dependencies and all that works though will be a touch tricky I think. (Being able to use different versions of Qt within a major series is an argument in favour of having the CI system build Qt itself btw). > >> - Would there be any value in testing e.g. libdep1 built against Qt 5.3.2 >> with a project that uses libdep1 but is itself built with Qt 5.4? > > Err, that goes into exponential complexity.
