Qt 5.6.2 ?? ( just curious )

[dlocklear01]

I am a novice and have no idea what I am about to ask.

KDE Infocenter says I have Qt 5.6.1.

But according to the Qt website, their latest version is 5.6.2.

I assume the Mageia developers have to do hundreds of hours of testing to incorporate
such an update. Correct ??

What applications are affected when Qt changes versions ?

You should probably read our policy on updates: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy
Just because there is a "latest" version does not mean that an update will be pushed for the stable distribution releases.

For the question which applications / packages are affected when Qt changes version, it's probably the easiest to list all packages, which depend on one of the basic Qt library packages. You can try that out for yourself, as regular user:

Code: Select all

urpmq --whatrequires-recursive libqt5core5|sort -u

It may take some time to update qt or desktop need to be rebuild against new qt.
