Hi
Qt5 first release is now available for download. It is not yet on the netlabs repository, but on the netlabs experimental repository (https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/RPM/YUM_Tips_on_OS/2-eCS#Installing_the_Netlabs_Experimental_Repository). (I don't know the rules on when it is going to be on the normal repository).
I had installed as suggested: "yum install qt5-qtbase-examples" and rebooted.
I think it would be great if the community can start testing it out, reporting bugs/issues (I guess here (https://github.com/bitwiseworks/qt5-os2/issues)), testing software, and even dreaming what Qt5 open source can be ported to OS/2. But it is also important to help funding this project (webshop (https://www.bitwiseworks.com/shop/index.php?id_product=56&controller=product&id_lang=1) or via Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/bwwbitwiseworks)).

Hi
Looking around I found a list of Qt apps available (Qt4 and Qt5) for other platforms. Not all can be ported, but maybe there is something interesting ;)
- manjaro.org (https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=List_of_Qt_Applications)
Any other links or ideas are welcome.

Martin, thanks for popping this up! A couple of notes:
- Qt 5 RPMs will be moved to the release repository later today.
- Qt 5 consists of modules and each module has its own repository and issue tracker. Per-module tickets should be reported to the module's issue tracker. Currently we only ported the QtBase module. Its issue tracker is located here: https://github.com/bitwiseworks/qtbase-os2/issues.
And here are the proper release notes btw: https://github.com/bitwiseworks/qtbase-os2/releases/tag/v5.11.0-os2-b1

A question, How backward compatible is it? In other words will it run Qt 4 programs or do we need to keep our Qt 4 install?
I ask because I have about 25 Qt 4 programs that get from daily to weekly use.

I get this error trying to install the new Q5 libs. ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:klusrmgr >= 1.2.2 is needed by libc-1:0.1.2-1.oc00.i686Please report this error at http://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/
-
Qt 5 is not very backward compatible with Qt 4 but there are tools from Qt that simplify porting. But Qt 5 and Qt 4 apps can coexist so unless there are Qt 5 versions of your apps (which you should use then) you can still use Qt 4 versions.
Re the package error. Fixed, it will get deployed in 30 min or such.

Thank you Dmitriy, at least I can continue proof reading and editing, hopefully without problems.

I get this error: "Datei /@unixroot/usr/bin/pwd_mkdb.exe aus der Installation von libc-1:0.1.2-1.oc00.i686 kollidiert mit der Datei aus dem Paket klusrmgr-1.2.1-1.oc00.i686", meaning pwd_mkdb.exe is both in libc and klusrmgr.
-
Jochen, how do you install things? `libc-1:0.1.2-1` depends on a newer `klusrmgr-1.2.2-1` which should be automatically dragged in (causing a klusrmgr update before libc) unless you do something special with custom yum/rpm flags.
-
With ANPM. I start the upgrade. Libc stops the installation with the message, that I must reboot and then start update again.
I rebooted and restarted ANPM. Then comes the message.
klusrmgr 1.2.2 was installed (at least according to the RPM DB), but 1.2.1 was still there. I had to clean up the duplicates.
-
Jochen, I see. This looks like an ANPM bug to me. Please report this situation to their bug tracker at https://mantis.arcanoae.com/. (Apparently they should let the whole update process to complete and only then offer a reboot).
-
OK, I will try update via yum, when I'm home again.

I think, I have to file this one via Netlabs.
yum update crashed midway. After a reboot, python couldn't import its SSL wrapper.
I had to unpack the RPM on linux and copy them over to my /@unixroot.
After that, yum was working again.

can you reproduce the issue? As w/o a reproducable case it's almost impossible to see what the issue could have caused. As to be honest we never got such a report so far. Which doesn't mean anything :)

Yes, I know. My daily work is trying to reproducing claims of misbehaving software.
I will try to reproduce the issue.
