It's not supported yet. F27 has been released 5 days ago...

OBS distros are enabled manually (by me). It's not automatic.
Nobody requested Fedora 26 so I haven't enabled it.

QLC+ on OBS and F26/F27 doesn't build cause of an open issue on OLA.

Hello,
I am packaging several software that I use myself, in this OBS project:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:edogawa
Regarding qlc+, I usually build it for myself locally, and to make the ola part work, I decided to fall back to an older protobuf package from some other OBS location instead of the "official" distro provided one, and build ola against this. Both of these I branched to my own project and this made qlcplus compile.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... wa/qlcplus
Yesterday I've added a Fedora 27 target repository. Just be aware that I used and renamed the qt5 git package variant from massimo's project (see the Appimage part below to understand why I renamed) as that's what I use normally.
Also I started to experiment with building AppImages (universal/not distro-specific packages similar to dmg bundles on MacOS) for qlc+ as mentioned in another post, but currently this doesn't produce a useful package, for two reasons:
1. Currently it isn't possible to launch the fixture editor from that bundle (currently the binary to be lunched has to carry the package name, i.e. qlcplus in my case)
2. Resource paths aren't relocatable, instead the binary holds hard coded absolute paths read at compile time from a header file. I haven't had time yet to investigate further, but there likely is a way to deal with this properly, or as a workaround for now. Bear with me if anyone is interested in this. I tend to spend some time on stuff, then take a rest if it gets all too complicated, but usually come back some undefined time later again
Cheers and happy holidays,
Edgar

qt5-git packages for Fedora 26 and 27 are now available on OBS.
I had to exclude the OLA plugin.
Now I'm trying to build 4.11.1 on F26/27 too

@edogawa how did you manage to have Qt 5.9.3 in your OBS + AppImage repository ?
I tried to add Leap:42.2:Update/standard and Leap:42.2:standard like you did, but it still installs Qt 5.6, which is not good for QLC+ 5
[EDIT] nevermind. Qt 5.9.3 is the version installed in my system. The AppImage you created doesn't actually bundle the Qt libraries.
So, right now OBS is no go to package QLC+ 5. I am trying to use linuxdeployqt manually but it doesn't work either.
