The rest: they do not need Qt4. But the sole fact that you mention it means we better take a look here.

And adding more probable life to something that should be not be here already. > For Qt5 we're already sending it upstream, e.g. > webkit stuff. *Thanks* a lot for that.

I must admit that the patch looks good. But before accepting it I really want to dig into the dependency chain you wrote above. This seems like a great opportunity to find possibly wrong stuff. By the way: in http://deb.li/qt5builds I noticed that most qt5 submodules have been built but not qtbase! How did you achieve that? Cheers, and thanks for trying to bootstrap riscv64! -- http://xkcd.com/162/ Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
