[lubuntu-devel] [Lubuntu 17.04 Discussion] LXQt

[Simon Quigley]

Hey Walter, sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.

A month or less, I think. I'm not sure. Ask the Qt Release Team. ;)

Not yet, waiting until Qt 5.7.1 gets released and in the appropriate PPA.

Process or progress? Because I can provide either.

Not that I'm aware. The only thing that comes to mind is the email
client, and as far as I remember the Kubuntu folks are packaging that
up. If they aren't, I'll be happy to.

Well of course the QA team needs to do Testing, Testing, then More
Testing to ensure that we pick the most lightweight and least buggy
application. But I'm all for it.
