Hi,
For the open-source online installer where mirorbrain is used.
The commercial distribution is done with a different system where mirror space
is not an issue and there is a much higher number of “mirrors”, so also the
archive performance is a bit better.
Yours,
Tuukka

Hi,
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. 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?
Is this only about Open Source installer or also Commercial one? I'm on Qt
5.12.5 (Commercial) and will continue using this version potentially for years
to come (yeah it sucks but it's not my choice). So it would be nice to still
have it in the installer. I can compile it myself, I know I know, but the
installer is just a lot more convenient.
