Bug 941199 – dev-util/xxdiff: Qt6-based "5.1" snapshot bump request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Tomasz Golinski 2024-10-09 11:57:18 UTC]

Current snapshot of xxdiff is now quite old. The current git version already supports optionally Qt6 since commit https://github.com/blais/xxdiff/commit/cfc62755a6aae23f64512c2b3acc921d15a13535 They also apparently silently bumped version number to 5.1.

There were also some other changes along the way.

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Andreas Sturmlechner 2024-10-09 12:00:33 UTC]

It shouldn't be optional, but unconditionally Qt6.

[Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner 2025-02-09 08:59:43 UTC]

Considering past struggles, available alternatives with real upstream support (and releases), I'm going to drop stable keywords from this package.
