Package: release.debian.org Dear Release team, In Qt/KDE team, we have recently been working on Qt packages built with OpenGL ES support. This is what most participants of the Qt OpenGL thread [1] expressed their wish for. The main idea is that there is now a libqt5gui5-gles package (and, in future, libqt5quick5-gles and some others) that can be installed instead of their non-gles equivalents and provide mostly the same API. It is described in more details in README.Debian [2]. However, in order for this scheme to work properly, we need to rebuild all packages depending on libqt5gui5 to gain a new dependency on libqt5gui5 | libqt5gui5-gles (they will get it automatically from the symbols file if they do not use any desktop OpenGL specific ABI). This is not a regular transition because the packages can be rebuilt at any time, in any order, and there are no testing migrations involved. Would such a rebuild be possible? If yes, can we plan for it to happen after the freeze? Or maybe it's even possible to do it now? Ben file: title = "libqt5gui5-gles"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libqt5gui5"; is_good = .depends ~ "libqt5gui5-gles"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libqt5gui5" & ! .depends ~ "libqt5gui5-gles"; [1]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2018/11/msg00021.html [2]: https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/qt/qtbase/blob/gles/master/debian/README.Debian -- Dmitry Shachnev
