You are too fast in guiding newcomers to other Linux distributions and you are too religious about this software.

Darth helped Darth? Freudian slip apparently, or "alias Darth Vader=LuckyCyborg"

LOL, glad I quoted fully since it was apparently deleted....

I wanted to post a quote from a private discussion.

Still looking how to quote from a PM.

You do not need to quote from private conversations.

I take this position publicly.

It seems to be grateful to a person who helped you is a foreign concept for some.

However, let me to quote Zhuang Zhou, the author of Chuang Tzu:
Quote:
井鼃不可以語於海者,拘於虛也。

A frog in a well would not be able to put into words the idea of an ocean.
He was an adept of thinking out of box. You watch too much Mr. Robot and see conspirators everywhere.

啊,但你知道這是一個池塘,而不是井,我指導你回到蝴蝶的夢想。 讓我們不要劫持線程。

rough translation others: "Ah, but you see it is a pond and not the well, I direct you back to the butterfly dream. Let us not hijack the thread."

What kind of traffic are you getting on your Plasma builds? Willing to bet it's pretty heavy.

Why in /extra? It should be totally fine to have it in /l.

Yes. It should be great to have qt5 in /l.
But if you know Pat, you know that it would be easier to convince him to add qt5 to /extra instead of having two different versions of the same library in the same directory (assuming that qt4 will be kept in /l)
