Ok, I looked into this. Qt5 is supported only in the newest development version of lmms, but what I packaged is the latest stable release. I will make a note of this for when I update the package, but what can we do for the mean time? Accept this as is? Package the release candidiate? Or just wait for the next stable release of lmms before adding this to guix? To be honest, the RC looks like it has some cool new features, so I will probably be building it for myself either way. Also, lmms is on a pretty slow release cycle. The last stable was 2015, RC-1 was early 2016, and RC-2 was Jan 2017. So maybe if it seems stable enough when I build it I can package the RC-2. I could do one for each if that makes sense, kind of like the guile and guile-next packages. What do you think? lmms and lmms-rc? -Rodger
