You *already* are using version numbers and bumped it to 5.15.3:<br>
<a href="https://blog.neon.kde.org/2021/06/04/kde-neons-qt-is-now-built-from-kdes-git-branches/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blog.neon.kde.org/2021/06/04/kde-neons-qt-is-now-built-from-kdes-git-branches/</a><br>
<br>
This is unreasonable if you're going to make us need fixes from there.<br>
I'd rather we didn't pretend this is something other than what it is:<br>
a community maintained uplift of Qt 5.15 while Plasma works to move to<br>
Qt 6.<br>
<br>
Also, that URL is unstable, you'd get different things each time you'd<br>
fetch from it based on the HEAD of that branch.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Gitlab offers stable URLs based on a specific hash if absolutely required, see: <a href="https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtbase/-/archive/2a2f3cd61f59ccec0eecb09e4a8795d7322edfcb/qtbase-2a2f3cd61f59ccec0eecb09e4a8795d7322edfcb.tar.bz2">https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtbase/-/archive/2a2f3cd61f59ccec0eecb09e4a8795d7322edfcb/qtbase-2a2f3cd61f59ccec0eecb09e4a8795d7322edfcb.tar.bz2</a></div><div><br></div><div>Please note however that my previous comment on no automated access still applies.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
