Description Neal Gompa 2021-02-12 14:03:17 UTC

Description of problem:
Current KDE Plasma releases require Qt 5.15 (the last version of Qt5 and an LTS version). The Fedora KDE SIG would appreciate having Qt5 upgraded in RHEL 8.4 to 5.15.2 to unblock being able to upgrade Plasma in EPEL.

Qt5 releases offer very strong API and ABI backwards compatibility, so upgrading from Qt 5.12.5 to 5.15.2 should be quite safe. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.12.5-3.el8

Comment 1 Tomas Pelka 2021-02-12 16:05:41 UTC

Dear reporter unless there is for example security reason behind this request I'm afraid it is to late for 8.4.

I'm sorry
-Tom

Comment 2 Tomas Popela 2021-02-12 16:41:56 UTC

I agree with Tom. Neal it's too late for anything this big for 8.4. We might see whether we will have time to do this in 8.5 or 8.6 and we will have a discussion about it inside our subsystem.

Comment 3 Neal Gompa 2021-02-13 00:33:08 UTC

It would be appreciated to do it sooner rather than later, because Qt5 being so old is increasingly a problem for updating and maintaining Qt5 applications in EPEL.

I don't have any specific security issues on hand, but I figured that given the relatively low dependency web for Qt5 in RHEL outside of the Qt5 libraries themselves, I figured it'd be straightforward to upgrade.

If you *absolutely* cannot do it in 8.4, *please* do it ASAP for RHEL 8.5.

Comment 4 Tomas Popela 2021-02-18 08:51:26 UTC

Hi Neal, during the yesterday's subsystem meeting, we have decided that Honza will do the rebase for 8.5. Honza, please do it early in the 8.5.0 development cycle, so QE has some extra time to verify it.
