"What is the minimum version of XCB required for Qt 5?" It appears that libxcb-1.5 and xcb-proto-1.6 are required. These releases were announced Dec 3 2009 and Dec 2 2009 respectively. Does anyone have a way to determine how wide spread libxcb >= 1.5 has become in the last 15 months? _

None of the below changes the fact that the xlib plugin is unmaintained and broken. Removing it is the right thing to do for exactly that reason. If things don't work with an older xcb release, let's add a configure test requiring a minimum version that works. I rather have configure bail out with

Hi everybody, there are quite a few people meeting up in Oslo this week, and we'll try to finish up the Qt 5 alpha there. For this reason I'd like everybody to restrain themselves in what they submit to the master branch. The main focus needs to be to get the alpha, so please focus on staging only

While it's not normal to do this type of dependency "lock" for upwards dependencies, i think in this case we should indeed do the extra checking. Not just because QtDeclarative is such an important tech for Qt5, but also because it's a very good test case for QtBase. The extra time used for che
