downgrading the required Qt5 version to be compatible with CentOS-7 provided version

one line diff for the rpm linux target only to keep the CentOS-7 users happy...

I think the 5.12 was also piked in this case was to have a consistent Qt version across our binaries. Downgrading it here to 5.9.7 again would mean that our rpms run with 5.9.7 and all other binaries with 5.12. I'm not sure that this is a good idea to be honest.

Also, the rpm will be discontinued with the next minor release so we should be looking for alternatives for you here. Does the AppImage work for you or do you have the same problem with dependencies?

Appimage requires each user to install a 30 MB file, whereas rpm provide a consistent shared resources for all our users across all our machines of ~6 MB...

Finally the official 1.10.0 appimage is not working on CentOS-7:

Why do we need this?

[truatpasteurdotfr]

I have added that, just to be able to manually enable the CI.

[DamirPorobic]

I see. Ok, as CentOS has such a long support, let's do this but after 1.11.0 there will be no rpm anymore, you are probably going to stuck with 1.10.X

Thanks for considering that request! ksnip 1.10.x and with only bug fix is perfect as C7 eol is june 2024 https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product.
