Currently, more than 60 Qt releases can be installed from the Qt open source online installer (if all installation categories are selected). This requires a huge amount of disk space on the mirrors and also causes some performance issues with the online installer.
What kind of performance issues are we talking about?
That's why I suggest removing the older ones from the online installer; these releases can still be found in the archive as source packages and offline installers.But what are the ones that can be removed? I suggest removing all Qt 5 except Qt 5.15.x. And maybe we could also remove the oldest Qt6s, e.g. all Qt 6.0.x, 6.1.x?Any objections or other opinions?
Do you have data on how what's the share of downloads per Qt version / OS? Maybe those can be mirrored less aggressively?
I'd hate to have to use wildly different ways to install different Qt versions on the same machine.
