Hello,
As announced months ago, KDE4 and Qt4 are not supported anymore.
All the issues we encountered were addressed and I submitted delete requests for the remaining packages in openSUSE Tumbleweed.
This will not affect the Leap 15.0 and 15.1 users. For Leap 15.2 the goal is to drop Qt 4 as well
Should this also delete an already installed QT4 on a client computer? When doing a zypper dup on a Tumbleweed system today, it reported:
The following 30 packages are going to be REMOVED:
breeze4-style kde4-filesystem kdebase4-runtime kdebase4-workspace-libs kdelibs4 kdelibs4-branding-upstream kdelibs4-core libaccounts-glib0 libattica0_4 libbreezecommon4-5 libdav1d2 libdbusmenu-qt2 libdvdread4 libkactivities6 libkde4 libkdecore4 libksuseinstall1 libldb1 libldb1-32bit libphonon4 libpolkit-qt-1-1 libqt4 libqt4-devel libqt4-linguist libqt4-qt3support libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-sqlite libqt4-x11 phonon-backend-gstreamer sni-qt
I'm not using KDE4. But I have some Python programs that use QT4. They will eventually be updated. But until then, on systems where QT4 is already installed, removing QT4 seems strict. No problem that it goes away in the build system and can no longer be installed. But removing it from installed systems may be a surprise to many.
We remove all packages no longer built by default. If you want to keep it, lock it. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
