Qt 6.8 Software Bill of Materials

Tuesday, 3 December 2024 | Qt Dev Loop

TL;DR: The binary packages of Qt 6.8 or later in the Qt Online installer contain build SBOM documents.

An SBOM is:

A machine-processable document containing the details and supply chain relationships of various components used in building software, similar to food ingredient labels on packaging.

Why SBOM?

Building and shipping software requires a lot of care. Some aspects of building software are often neglected yet are considered important by many. I'm talking about security, build reproducibility, supply chain tracking, license compliance, and copyright attribution.
