[PRQ#49318] Deletion Request for qt5-networkauth-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-networkauth-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's Qt5 branch, which is typically behind the source used by the stable PKGBUILD in extra repo. Qt devs delay pushing Qt5 patches to the public repo by one year, whereas the KDE project cherry-picks and backports most of the important commits accepted by Qt Group for Qt5 but not yet publicly pushed. Therefore the extra repo build is better for users and developers alike, because it is based on newer code which has less bugs. As a consequence of all this, the extra/qt5* packages are quite like git VCS packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt5-networkauth-git/

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-multimedia-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD currently builds from upstream's dev branch for Qt6, and has a pkgver() that does not properly guarantee monotonic increase. Also, Qt Group's public Qt5 branch is typically behind the source used by the stable PKGBUILD in extra repo, because Qt devs delay pushing Qt5 patches by one year, whereas the KDE project cherry-picks and backports most of the patches accepted for Qt5 but not yet publicly pushed by Qt Group.

[PRQ#49290] Deletion Request for qt5-graphicaleffects-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 17 Mar '24

17 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qt5-graphicaleffects-git [2]: Not useful to keep this package. Qt5 is EOL since May 2023. This PKGBUILD relies on Qt Group's public repo as source, which is typically behind the source used by the stable PKGBUILD in extra repo. Because upstream delays the public availability of Qt5 patches by one year, but allows the KDE project to cherry-pick and backport most of the patches accepted for Qt5 but not yet publicly pushed to Qt5 branch by Qt Group. The extra repo package uses KDE's updated Qt5 source. Therefore it is both better for users to use, and also newer, and has less bugs. Also this essentially makes extra/qt5* packages similar to git VCS packages. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qt5-graphicaleffects-git/
