Even before starting I should say that I am just raising this issue but we do not need to fix it because it applies only to developers and not to packagers. I have both hats so I know which one to pick and when. 😀️
This is just to share what I learn and I do not think that we need to care about this. So in this case/build I am using autotools. In this particular case Version says: Version 2.5.0~devel (not released yet) Built from git commit hash 89ab9eb5 Qt Version (run-time): 6.7.2 on platform wayland Qt Version (compile-time): 6.7.2 OS Version (run-time): Fedora Linux 40 (KDE Plasma) Python detected: 3.12.4 (/usr/bin/python3) Draw strategy: partial draw on backing store And Build Info reports: LyX 2.5.0~devel (not released yet) Git commit hash 89ab9eb5 Configuration Host type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: build=development warnings assertions stdlib-assertions callback-printing use-hunspell use-enchant Bundled libraries: nod C++ Compiler: /opt/gcc-latest/bin/g++ (15.0.0) C++ Compiler flags: -Wall -Wextra -fPIC -g -Og -std=c++17 - Wno-deprecated-copy C++ Compiler user flags: Linker flags: -rdynamic Linker user flags: Qt Frontend: Qt version: 6.7.1 Packaging: posix LyX binary dir: /usr/local/bin LyX files dir: /usr/local/share/lyx-devel The Qt version is an old one, most likely the one used last time that configure ran. Since the source of truth is Version, and that the information is correct I suggest to leave this as it is. As a packager I always pick the source and then follow the usual build flow so that then both tabs will be in accordance. Regards, PS: I am using real unicode emojis to defeat Pavel's emoji detection script. 😉️😎️😅️ -- José Abílio -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
