Description Liang Qi 2023-06-05 08:41:05 UTC

Description of problem: 
There are some (commercial) users who only can access the default RHEL 9 repos, and Qt 6.5 starts to use xcb-util-cursor instead of Xlib/libXcursor, then they can't build and use Qt 6.5 with the packages only from default RHEL 9 repos.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.1.3


How reproducible: consistent


Actual results: There is no xcb-util-cursor in the default RHEL 9 repo.


Expected results: Include xcb-util-cursor in the default RHEL 9 repo.


Additional info: xcb packages(including xcb-util-cursor) should be considered infrastructure packages.

See also the original request in Qt Project, https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-113647 .

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2023-06-05 11:13:09 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 does not offer the Qt6 stack, and has no plans to add it at this time.  We would suggest using the EPEL repository for xcb-util-cursor and Qt6.

If a Red Hat Enterprise Linux customer needs Qt6, please file a customer portal case so we can track and manage the request correctly.

This request was already pre-approved internally by Carlos and members of sst_gpu.

Just to clarify Tomas comment, we're open to evaluate inclusion of packages in certain repositories (which ones TBD), but we still need internal discussion after we receive an official request. I think having an official customer request is a good first step, but we still didn't go through the internal evaluation process. Apologies if that was misinterpreted on my side.
