Hi, proxy maintainer here. Last time I checked it seemed like the development process stalled after a period of activity in 2022. I'll check in with the maintainers on slack tomorrow. P.S. It's so sad that all the code in the world is slowly dying :( I feel like anything I write is already dying the second I write the line of code. The dependencies are going unmaintained, libraries are getting replaced and deprecated, core system APIs get outdated, compilers drop support of some features, hardware goes out of use. Guess you can't beat the second law of thermodynamics even if you're trying really really hard to create a predictable and independent execution environment. And that's a bit depressing. Sorry for the philosophy stuff, just wanted to share :) The other question is if this is actually currently even working in a Wayland context: https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3887 If not, we could easily drop IUSE wayland from there as a first step, to unblock at least kde proj from further KF5 cleanup. (In reply to Pavel Kalugin from comment #1) > I'll check in with the maintainers on slack tomorrow. Any answers? Please let me know what to do here. Yep, still no answer from maintainers on Slack. Sorry for the extreme delay. Last time I checked the flameshot did work well enough on Wayland (it didn't support fractional scaling though). The repository does seem to have some residual activity, but I wouldn't expect a quick Qt6 port. Although it would be a pity to remove the package altogether, as it seems to still be a useful tool even in it's current state. At least kde-frameworks/kguiaddons:5 is just a Tier 1 framework, so I can accept it for some time more (but not as the only blocker of kf5-removal tracker). |
