drop Qt4 support #300

Open dvzrv opened 5 years ago

dvzrv commented 5 years ago

Many of the helper scripts are trying to use Qt4, but it's mega dead and should not be encouraged. I'm unsure, whether the ones, that use Qt4 exclusively are just portable. However, we could start removing Qt4 from all of the scripts that try to use either that or Qt5, right away: faust2{faustvst,jaqt,lv2}. I could provide a pull request for that.

Speaking from the Arch Linux packaging perspective: We will remove qt4 very soon. Therefore I will not add any dependencies on qt4 for any of these scripts. The ones using qt4 exclusively will stop working, once qt4 is removed. Those would be faust2{alqt,jackserver,netjackqt,paqt,raqt}. As I don't really know much about the underlying things of those scripts, I think it would be best, if someone with more expertise regarding their usage would have a look at it.

Do you have a PR for that?

Will do! Thanks for the reminder!
