This can't be removed yet because it would break a lot of programs on darwin cause we can't use 5.15 there because we need to update the apple sdk.

This being the case, then we need to move macOS back to a version that still has upstream support (Qt 5.12.9).

@NixOS/qt-kde Are any of the current maintainers using Darwin?

There's an increasing amount of packages for which the new sdk is needed.

I don't use darwin.

This could break some packages. Maybe we can wait until the SDK update is in.

I marked this as stale due to inactivity. → More info

@ttuegel looking at this a little further -- how would you feel about bumping darwin's default Qt from 5.12 to 5.14? The justification given earlier in this PR is that 5.12 still had LTS support, while 5.14 was unsupported. At this point, 5.12 is no longer supported either. Given two non-ideal situations, maybe it's still at least better to get darwin by default up to 5.14 so it's running on a circa-2019 EOL library rather than a circa-2018 EOL library.

That's probably a good idea!
