I suspected that that may have been the case. My plan for my next build was to go with Centos 7 anyway so that works for me. Richard, While what you said is not "incorrect". I want to add some things. My opinions are directed towards RPMfusion and all members with decision making power for building packages, not just you. My uncle Doodle used to say: "Opinions are like *ss#holes, Everybody has one!". Like it or not. I don't come out from behind my rock too much. But when I do, I have some things to say and this is my opinion! *>That's currently not possible because the version of QT in RHEL is too old and the version in EPEL (QT5) is too new.* **Don't use qt5 with EL6. It's not binary compatible directly with el6's qt4-6.2 but qt4-4.8.X is. Someone told you wrong to try it. * **Use this repo instead. Created by SIC from Fedora # This was built isolated in /opt, I have rebuilt it against 4.8.5 with Axels' reference system for qt47.https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/sic/qt48/epel-qt48.repo <https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/sic/qt48/epel-qt48.repo> * *You have to force it(unless you rebuilt it) because mythtv packages from Axel and RPMf are built against the qt*-* and not qt48-qt-*.* *My qt48-4.8.5 spec/build that I upgraded from (sics) previous great work on this subject will be turned over to Axel with a matter of days. And then it will * *start populating the el6 repos as things always have. Axel's obviously busy or he'd had make this work already and we wouldn't be discussing it.* *It's my opinion that Axel was ok with having a couple small rpm issues in qt47(which is why it was in atrpms-testing) I'm sure Axel probably expected the Open Source Community and peers like us to fix that and contribute and not just try and fix it and NOT contribute, and then complain.* *Axels "vacations" to me ...have proven that we need him around to keep the flow moving. * *I'm no Axel, but I am one of his biggest fans.* *Back on point:* *>Since RPM Fusion has a policy not to replace currently shipping packages we're at an impasse! * *RPMfusion already has other qt4's in the RPMfusion repo Richard. As you know, they just don't work(very well), even though they sit there...like they might.Fact is:Axels 4.7 worked. Up to the change upstream in mythtv. It just needed a few minor things addressed, which has been done. This and Sics work are the basis for a now working qt48 kit on el6. Without any openGL or Webkit or slow mythweb related issues.* *>Since RPM Fusion has a policy not to replace currently shipping packages we're at an impasse.I'm sorry again Richard. ....No direct disrespect intended as I like you and all the peps at RPMfusion and Axels group. Even though I only know you by reading posts/notes from your work! * In all fairness, *This is by choice or technical decision based solely on the decision making processes' of the past and is now technically a MOOT point.* *If any of you don't believe me or you or anyone at RPMf want to engage. Email me. I will not debate these facts and my personal opinions no more than this on this point here.* *Lets fix what needs to be fixed as FSF loving people and drop the non-relevant explanations from the past. I'm not religious, but here's My philosophy, Regarding the ongoing pissing contest between RPMf and ATrpms.* *It's not helping either or both sides.* *Consider this: I got a big ego and I think highly of myself ...but **Stubbornness and Rigidity is my default nature! * *I'm faulty.
