Qt4 removal - gwenhywfar
Last modified: 2019-09-11 17:30:36 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1148397 +++ Hello, There are a couple blockers left preventing the removal of Qt4 in openSUSE Tumbleweed. gwenhywfar is one of them. The previous submit request was reverted without anyone notifying me, the current state is unknown. the 4.99.11 beta was released in march and nothing since then. Is it usable or shall gwenhywfar be dropped from factory?

There is an SR to revert gwenhywfar to the latest stable release 4.20.1 (without Qt4 support) in the devel project too: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/726345 That shop finally break this blockage. > the 4.99.11 beta was released in march and nothing since then. > > Is it usable or shall gwenhywfar be dropped from factory? 4.99.11 is not usable for kmymoney, that only supports the stable version (4.20.1). Also, kmymoney only supports the stable aqbanking 5, which won't build against the unstable gwenhywfar.

Thanks. As long as the Qt4 dependency is gone, any solution is fine :)
So, how come https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/724186 was opened 11 days ago and noone reacted yet?
Yes, it makes sense to revert and submit current gwenhywfar (with Qt4 support disabled) e. g. as gwenhywfar5. The same about aqbanking.
@sbrabec: I have updated the submit request as https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/726664 to include another bugfix. However, nobody has been reacting on that, neither on my request to add package maintainer role. Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
I am not a maintainer of gwenhywfar nor Office any longer, so I have no permission to approve. I am a bugowner because I don't have a permission to remove my rule from the Office project. Tomáš, could you help with the problem? It would be nice to find more maintainers of this project. Jason or Dirk, could you take a maintenance of this package? Jason: It is related to smart cards. Dirk: You maintain this package in SLE 12. I support approving of all 4 requests that will finally fix problem of two incompatible APIs of gwenhywfar & aqbanking. I did the update in the main package as I was not aware of those large API changes. https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/726664 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/724252 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/724198 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/724197

Since this particular project is related to smart cards and uses Qt I would snap it up right now. I hesitate because the documentation is in German, and I have no experience reading German.

To Stephan Barth: Could you approve requests in the comment 7, remove me from a Bugowner of Office and add jsikes as a maintainer & bugowner of gwenhywfar* and aqbanking*? Thanks.
