With focuswriter 1.8.0 being based on qt6 if you don't have anything else qt6 based the load of dependencies is enormous.
|
|
Functionality is very little changed and so are the aesthetic qualities of the program.
|
|
Most likely you have a few other qt5 based applications so sticking to a qt5 edition makes sense.
|
|
Here is the difference due to new qt6 dependencies:
|
|
|
|
This is after an upgrade to focuswriter 1.8.0-1
|
|
and going back down to our own 1.7.6 rebuilt against qt5

With focuswriter 1.8.2 qt6 is not just needed but now
|
|
qt5 is being replaced gradually by a qt6-qt5 compatibility
|
|
layer, so for now we keep the 1.7.6 version that is
|
|
qt5 based and made 1.8.2 sepparately, found in focuswriter-qt6
|
|
jobcomm.git
|
|
|
|
This is why both are listed in the jobcomm repository.
|
|
|
|
This is a simple document writing pad program, not
|
|
something exposed to network security, and some of us
|
|
tend to keep the simplest, smallest, with equivalent
|
|
functionality, rather than run behind the latest
|
|
gadgetry for everything. But remember this is Qt, and
|
|
they have a culture of forcing older based Qt sw to
|
|
fail to force developers into their latest non-free
|
|
licensed base.
|
|
|
|
Qt5 base is only supported for paying licensed customers,
|
|
therefore a huge violation in the principles of FOSS.
