That is certainly one possibility. > > But anyway: I'm fine with plasma requiring Qt 5.3.

That is probably the best thing we could do at this point. Only way I see of being able to test Qt 5.2 would involve more job duplication at the moment (and building a 3rd copy of Qt 5). > > Anyhow, nothing critical here. If someone would be interested in working on the build metadata specifications to come up with a proposal which would allow us to accomodate builds such as the ones David has described while still being able to support what Plasma needs for their master/stable combinations, please get in touch with me. > > -- > David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr > Working on KDE Frameworks 5 > Thanks, Ben _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
