Greetings,
Fundamental reason: Qt5 and Qt6 are in the archive.
I am requesting a transition from package libqcustomplot2.0 to
libqcustomplot2.1. Source package is qcustomplot. The change involves a change
in the library name itself, from libqcustomplot2.0 to both libQCustomPlot2.1 and
libQCustomPlotQt6.so.2.1.0 (see below).
I have prepared the packaging in the following git repos branch:
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/qcustomplot/-/tree/qt5-and-qt6
[...]
For the libs under my control, the transition is already prepared and these
projects are going to be linking against the Qt6-built library, contrary to all
the other packages detailed below.
For the other libs listed above, I have already checked that they would build if
some modifications were performed. I have already git branches ready for the
packages under git VCS. For the others (source deb), I have patches available.
The modifications are lean: change -lqcustomplot to -lQCustomPlot for many and
also sometimes use the CMake-based configuration involving first
find_package(QCustomPlot) and second the QCustomPlot::QCustomPlot formalism for
the linker.
That is: almost one- or two-liner patches.
Could you please file bugs for those so that maintainers are aware?
Yes, I'll do that. I have already informed them individually of the process and
provided them with the relevant patch.
Sincerely,
Filippo
