[Slackbuilds-users] Qt6, slackware32, current, and unsupported stuff

[Arnaud]

Hi, I too am facing a question regarding 32bits and unsupported stuff.
It concerns dustrac and gargoyle, which both are now relying on qt6.

That makes them UNSUPPORTED on slackware 15.0, the 32bits version.
However, Slackware-current does ship an i686 version of qt6, making those 2 games perfectly supported in the future of old CPUs.

That does bear the question of what I ought to do today, while waiting for current to go stable.
 - keep older version, as they work ;
 - make a gargoyle32, and a dustrac32 package stuck in the past ;
 - update and lie about 32bit being unsupported, since it is currently the case, but won't be in the future ;
 - ask Patrick for a release ;
 - call Obi-Wan Kenobi for help.

I've done something for focuswriter, creating a focuswriter-qt6 package, keeping focuswriter stuck.
That kind of made sense because qt6 is overly painful to build.
But most of those solutions are, or will be, painful for package tracking, or not nice for 32bits systems which would loose packages that were ok before.

I'm almost ready to make some hybrid SlackBuild, with different download versions for 32 and 64, and a wrong version for the 32bit package, so it always builds.
But that'd be a bigger lie...

And does anyone know why we can't have qt6 for ix86 on SBo ?

 - Yth.
