Bug#920942: transition: libfm-qt
Hi Emilio,
it build just fine, i currently run it, i uploaded it to my private repo
with an attached build server before.
The new version is important. PCManFM-Qt is the main part of LXQt, the
new released version is the finished porting to C++ with lots of bug
fixes and enhancements. Further more - the version that is currently in
sid and testing should under no circumstances go to stable - reason: it
isn't. We was forced upstream to do the migration stepwise, 0.13 was the
first step needed. 0.14.0 is the polished version with only a few new
functionality and lots of fixed bugs (major and minor). Might sound
hard, but i would not have the needed thick skin and the balls to put
this into stable, it would be a clear dis-service for our users.
I guess that there might be some symbol bugs in some architectures but
they will be easy to fix. amd64 and i386 should just build fine.
https://github.com/lxqt/libfm-qt/blob/master/CHANGELOG - that is the
very condensed form of the changes, i find the git log unreadable for
mere humans - even if i should know what we have changed.
