[opensuse-factory] Qt4 removal: september status update
Hello, Qt4 is almost ready to be dropped. Thanks to the people involved during these past months, we're down to four packages: - gwenhywfar: Thanks to Johannes Engel's work, here's what's going to happen shortly: * gwenhywfar will be downgraded to 4.20.2 * gwenhywfar5 will be the unstable package * aqbanking was also updated to 5.8.2 * aqbanking6 will require gwenhywfar5 The hardest part was getting feedback from the "Office:" maintainers. The SRs remained opened for more than two weeks without getting attention. SR#727875 and 724198 are still opened. Johannes also has a package update ready for gnucash, but it depends on these changes. Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/1148408 - keepassx: The last keepassx release is from 2016, the last commit is from january. https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/727801 adds provides/obsoletes entries to the keepassxc package. A delete request will be created after that unless the maintainers want a package tracking the git repository. Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/1148401 - qgo: After 2 posts during the past months on this list, a comment on the OBS package page and a bug report, I never got any answer from package/repo maintainers. I'll create a delete request tomorrow if noone reacts. Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/1148398 - mumble: I'll prepare a 1.3.0-rc2 update today.

What about scribus, kscd and kdm? sddm still isn't a full kdm replacement, due to the missing XDMCP support, which is a pretty severe loss for those, that rely on this. Sure, you can use another display manager, but that comes at a price as well. What about moving them to a KDE:Attic project?

I understand the loss of functionality, but given the fact that KDM has been bitrotting for years I would not recommend using it to anyone. For scribus, see https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/727812.

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/727812 for scribus, https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/726516 (delete request) for kscd Fabian asked to delay the kdelibs4 removal until Qt4 is also ready to go away. The kdebase4-workspace package (which contains kdm) will go away at the same time.

You can copy the package wherever you want. Christophe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I still use KDM for Plasma installations on openSUSE mostly, exclusively on Fedora. On a few openSUSE I use KDM3 instead. On none are LightDM or SDDM adequate to task, unless something's changed in them that I don't know about. About GDM I can't say, as I haven't had it installed since last century. WDM I have yet to investigate. TDM with Plasma I can't recall having tried yet. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

You're free to use them (copy them over with the OBS, as suggested elsewhere in the thread). Of course, if something breaks, you get to keep the pieces.

So dropping it is the only sane thing we can do here, I'm afraid. As I already mentioned months ago, there still are Qt5 or KF5 based applications to use for that, personally I use kaffeine instead of kscd since years (even in KDE4 times)... Kaffeine's KF5 port (or rather the port to vlc instead of xine) was not able to play AudioCDs for a while, but that has been fixed meanwhile.

I don't know if that's the problem here, maybe I'll have a look if I'm bored. But the main point is that kscd has been abandoned and dropped upstream, it doesn't really make sense to keep it around in the distribution (and as I wrote, there are alternatives).
