Re: Frescobaldi?

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Hi Kieren,

unfortunately, as I noted above, the problem seems to be that frescobaldi depends on a now-deprecated version of qtwebengine, and without updating it we'll eventually reach a point where it no longer runs. I looked into this because qtwebengine-5.15 failed to compile on my machine this morning, so I'm worried we're already approaching EOL on it. 

Jean: I have a colleague who does UI work and is "fairly" capable of dealing with python and Qt dependencies. Can you give me a brief (but as technical as it needs to be for a specialist to understand the issue) summary of where the sticking points are?

Cheers,

N. Andrew Walsh

Hi all,

I own a bunch of Macs. In fact, right here in my studio I have two late-2014 Mac Minis with fresh Monterey installs which are completely unused. I also have a *really* excellent [fibre] internet connection — it usually hovers near 900Mbps up and down (though right now it’s only at 200Mbps for some reason?!) — and I’m happy to put a machine on a DMZ for external access.

Is there anything, non-programming-wise, I can do to help the cause?

Cheers,
Kieren.
