Qwt5 and removal of Qt4 (Qwt and PyQt-Qwt version 6)

["Gudjon I. Gudjonsson" <gudjon@gudjon.org>]

Hi list

 

My packages Qwt5 and pyqwt5 will be removed with the removal of Qt4 from Debian and yesterday I was looking at the

reverse dependencies and a few of the packages have maintainers on this list.

 

$ apt-cache rdepends libqwt5-qt4

libqwt5-qt4  

Reverse Depends: 
 libqwt5-qt4-dev                  
 mitools             
 sofa-apps            
 libsofa1              
 scidavis            
 python-qwt5-qt4   
 ophcrack  
 starpu-top  
 gnuradio
 libotbmonteverdigui-5.8-1
 ophcrack
 libgnuradio-qtgui3.7.10

        
$ apt-cache rdepends python-qwt5-qt4
python-qwt5-qt4       
Reverse Depends:               
 python-qwt3d-qt4                                                                                               
 epigrass
 python-taurus
 syrthes-gui
 python-acidobasic
 gnuradio

 

As a replacement for Qwt5, Qwt version 6 was released many years ago and has been packaged

for debian nearly as long.

 

As a replacement for pyqwt5 I want to suggest my wrapper, PyQt-Qwt

https://github.com/GauiStori/PyQt-Qwt

It is not yet packaged for Debian but I might start packaging it if somebody shows interest.
