From bd86db18330c613c7ddee027c749580c9c61ec30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yarny0 <41838844+Yarny0@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2022 16:04:09 +0200 Subject: {nixos/,}clickshare-csc1: remove (prepare Qt4 removal) Qt4 is on it's way out, according to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/174634 Barco's ClickShare driver/client requires Qt4; an update isn't in sight anywhere. To prepare for the removal of Qt4, the commit at hand removes the ClickShare package and its NixOS module. The release notes are appended with a hint about the removal and some alternatives that might help users that are still in need of the driver/client functionality. --- nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2211.section.xml | 13 +++++++++++++ nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2211.section.md | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+) (limited to 'nixos/doc') diff --git a/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2211.section.xml b/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2211.section.xml index 9580006878108..7b988a76019b1 100644 --- a/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2211.section.xml +++ b/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2211.section.xml @@ -115,6 +115,19 @@ (with foo; isPower && is32bit && isBigEndian). + + + The Barco ClickShare driver/client package + pkgs.clickshare-csc1 and the option + programs.clickshare-csc1.enable have been + removed, as it requires qt4, which reached + its end-of-life 2015 and will no longer be supported by + nixpkgs. + According + to Barco many of their base unit models can be used + with Google Chrome and the Google Cast extension. + + PHP 7.4 is no longer supported due to upstream not supporting diff --git a/nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2211.section.md b/nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2211.section.md index 1a14885ed8c38..2d6e3f4c9375a 100644 --- a/nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2211.section.md +++ b/nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2211.section.md @@ -47,6 +47,10 @@ In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the followin - The `isPowerPC` predicate, found on `platform` attrsets (`hostPlatform`, `buildPlatform`, `targetPlatform`, etc) has been removed in order to reduce confusion.
