Qt5 versions in Ubuntu (Re: [Freetype-devel] Re: compilation of `ftinspect` fails)

[suzuki toshiya]

Dear Werner, Charlie,

In the case of Ubuntu, the versions of Qt are following.

18.04LTS (until April 2023): 5.9.5
20.04LTS (until April 2025): 5.12.8
21.10: 5.12.2
22.04LTS (until April 2027): 5.15.3
Kinetic:  5.15.4

I think supporting Qt 5.12 is helpful for lazy late adapters like me :-),
but Charlie, please don't spend much time for them. As Werner comments,
notification "your Qt is too old to build ftinspect" is sufficient goal
for GSoC project.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
