As usual... why 4.0? That's from 2.5 years ago. Yes, it's an LTS, but it's old and will be 3 years old when 6.9 is released. I personally don't understand why Yocto has LTS in the first place. The latest is the only acceptable Yocto release anyone should use at any point in time when creating a new build for their device. But in any case, we're talking here about someone who is *upgrading* Qt to 6.9. I don't understand why they need an Yocto LTS, much less the older of the two. I don't make policy in this area - and definitely don't have a say in business decisions - but I am going to offer my opinion anyway: the Qt LTS releases should support the latest Yocto LTS only, meaning the non-LTS releases should predict which the LTS requirement will be and get close to it. That would mean that we expect Qt 6.11 to be shortly before the next Yocto LTS, so current QT non-LTS should align to the current Yocto LTS and stop there. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Principal Engineer - Intel DCAI Platform & System Engineering
