Does anyone know of the timeframe in which tails will switch to a
newer version of Qt?
As it's debian based: will switch to a Wheezy/7.4. Wheezy has Qt 4.8
so is decidedly unproblematic.
I see they're working on migration at least:
- https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/Wheezy/
- https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/wheezy
