Description: The version currently in the repositories (1.4.2.git.20171126-1) builds from git commit bcd58b513d33d546b7c8864a988ba80bcda62049 which is in no way supposed to be used as the version packaged in any distribution. The last stable version (1.4.2) is from May, which is not that old.

As someone involved with the upstream development of Picard, I would really prefer Arch to ship 1.4.2. Note that downgrading from a development version to 1.4.2 is not properly supported and tested, either :(


Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.4.2.git.20171126-1

"The last stable version (1.4.2) is from May..."

And still uses Qt4, which has been unsupported upstream for 2 years now, even after it was extended.
