Bug 642538 – <net-im/vacuum-1.3.0 depends on deprecated Qt4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andreas Sturmlechner 2017-12-28 16:37:04 UTC]

Qt4 is dead and going away. vacuum upstream have not made a release in a long time, but our 9999 ebuild is already qt5 based for a while, and this package needs to move on soon.

It is also the last rdep of: dev-qt/qtlockedfile[qt4]

@reagentoo, do you think 9999 is stable enough to create a snapshot from it? If you take on the task, since we haven't heard from maksbotan in all that time, I would add you as proxy-maintainer of the package if you are still interested.

Hello! Vacuum-IM developers plan to make release on Qt5 in the near future.

[Comment 2 Dmitriy Baranov 2018-01-03 16:32:19 UTC]

Well. Now we have Qt5 snapshot vacuum-1.3.0.20180103-Alpha: https://github.com/Vacuum-IM/vacuum-im/releases.

@asturm Could you tell me, what ebuild format for this version? I'll make a commit to the tree.

[Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner 2018-01-03 18:27:12 UTC]

File format could be

1) vacuum-1.3.0_alpha_pre20180103
2) vacuum-1.3.0_pre20180103

1) if you think there will be an actual _alpha release by upstream, 2) if you think they just appended -Alpha for educational purpose and will continue to use the -yyyymmdd suffix format until the proper release. I'd probably go with 2).

Do you think this snapshot is good enough for us to drop old qt4-based? Not much has happened upstream since then.

[Comment 7 Dmitriy Baranov 2018-02-16 10:09:46 UTC]

I think you can drop old qt4-based.
The latest Qt5-alpha version is quite stable.
