Hi everyone! As we are approaching the time when we will start having kf5 stuff in the archive and people will start wanting this "feature" in so they can use their Qt4 apps I thought it would be good to let you know some details of this package. So with my Qt-maintainer hat on: - sni-qt needs a patch in Qt4 not ACKed by upstream (although this might be just because the patch came too late in Qt4's lifetime). - We Qt maintainers do our best to just patch when there is a *real* good reason and upstream ACKs the patch. We do understand that this patch and sni-qt might be really somthing to consider, but apart from the above statements we have found other reasons to not consider sni-qt: - The patch is only required by sni-qt - sni-qt seems to be dead-upstream: * It received it last commit more three years from now: <https://code.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/sni-qt/trunk.13.04> It actually had it's 3rd anniversary the day we released Jessie ;) * The bug list is: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sni-qt> The most recent bug there has been opened in August last year, received priority high in December and is still open. Uploading dead-upstream stuff to the archive doesn't seems a wise idea to me, so if anyone wants this in then jump in as sni-qt upstream. Or **much** better yet, just help porting the code to Qt5.
