Flatpak Qt6 upgrade - new App ID #5421

Closed JordanL2 closed 3 months ago

JordanL2 commented 3 months ago

Hi,

Since Lazarus now supports Qt6, I've been working on switching the flatpak (https://github.com/flathub/io.github.cudatext.CudaText-Qt5) to use Qt6.

However, obviously the app ID "io.github.cudatext.CudaText-Qt5" won't make sense now. My plan is to rename the app ID to just "io.github.cudatext.CudaText-Qt", so it can be upgraded to any Qt version in the future.

Does this sound ok to you?

Better keep Qt5 version and add Qt6 version. Users of old distros with Qt5 will be satisfied.

Also the name "...Qt" sounds too vague - users of old distros will get it but they will fail.

JordanL2 commented 3 months ago

Flatpak includes all its dependencies, so users of old distros will be able to use the Qt6 version just as easily as anyone else. Also Qt5 is end of life. There's absolutely no reason to maintain two Qt flatpaks.

You are right, okay.
