Description of problem: The release of qt-creator in the repo is out of sync with the release of the qt5 rpms in the EPEL repo. Please update it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.1-3 Additional info: See https://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/10/15/qt-5-5-1-released/ for more information. Qt 5.5.1 comes with Qt Creator 3.5.1.
In my mind this is against the update policy, but since the Qt 5 package is being updated, I'll check on the mailing list to see if everyone is ok with me updating Qt Creator as well ( https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2015-November/011785.html ).
+1 for the upgrade, remember that EPEL repo will be always behind.
Furthermore, qt-creator-3.0.1 FTBFS with Qt 5.5, so updating qt-creator is also required for the new epel7 arches which are being built for the first time.
fyi, epel will likely get at least one more Qt5 update to 5.6.0 (when available soon), and then we (Qt5 maintainers) will likely keep epel on 5.6.x series, since it will be an LTS supported release.
OK, Qt-5.6.0 is about to get submitted to bodhi for both epel-7 and el6: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-875ec6d2b3 and https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-eada5cb858 respectively. and Qt-5.6.0 packages are tagged as buildroot overrides until Fri Mar 25. Let me know how you (qt-creator EPEL maintainers) want to handle this. In particular, if you do any qt-creator builds, and want me to add to the above updates. Thanks.
If you're willing to do the rebase/rebuild qt-creator for EPEL, then I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
OK, looking at it for a few minutes, ran into snag that newer qt-creator (3.6.x) seems to want a newer llvm than either el7 or el6 provides next attempt: see if existing older qt-creator is (re)buildable against qt-5.6
oh, nevermind, comment #3 implies *something* newer is required, so maybe something in between 3.0 and 3.6 can work.
qt-creator-3.5.x needs gcc-4.7, so that's not an option for epel either, and starting to think qt-creator may be unsupportable Making a copr that can use: https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-3/ (and it's newer compilers) may be an option.
It puts EPEL in an unhappy place, as a machine with qt-creator installed can't be upgraded and throws errors due to qt-creator requiring an older qt5-qtbase. A qt-creator than is happy with qt-5.6 seems like a very desirable thing.
Adjusting summary to make it clear this only affects epel-6 Any qt-creator maintainers object to the plan of (essentially) retiring qt-creator from epel-6 ? (if so, do you have any better ideas, other than providing qt-creator via copr?)
This issue of it being out of sync affects epel-7 too now that 5.6 is out, no? Do you just mean this bug is only addressing epel-6, and we should open a separate bug?

We've begun the upgrade to EL 7 so retiring it from EL 6 wouldn't really effect us, but I feel bad for all of the people out there still using EL 6 that have a very useful tool ripped out from underneath them. Can an older version be rebuilt against the new Qt 5 release for EL 6?

Would this be an additional motivation to do something like that?
fyi, epel-7 qt-5.6.x compatible qt-creator update is here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-ed8d118583 (mostly an oversight of mine that it didn't get pushed along with qt-5.6), see also bug #1324302
Dave, I think the best way forward would be to simply retire qt-creator from epel-6 repo It may be possible to bring back a newer version in copr using devtoolset if anyone is interested in working on that.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
