With the removal of brltty we were able to remove the last of the really
ancient obsolete libraries. It would be nice to have that back someday,
but would require some work to make that happen.
Since the last report there have been two unresolved upgrades, lua and
ruby. Due to the incompatibilities between versions of lua, there is a
lua5.1 compat package to avoid immediate breakage. Please let me know
if you have any issues rebuilding with 5.2.
Marco, I know you are in the middle of a major octave upgrade; do you
need anything further Qt-wise to make that happen?
