Bug#844643: ITP: flatcam -- 2D Computer-Aided PCB Manufacturing on a CNC router
Hi,
I'm still interested to do the packaging of flatcam.
Flatcam is while writing still depending on Qt4 in most or all of the
parts, due the announcement of Qt4 removal within the Buster release
preparation I contacted upstream and informed Juan Pablo about the
planned Qt4 removal.
Unfortunately I have got no feedback on this.
I plan not to do further packaging until upstream has made some
statement about further development of flatcam depending on the
deprecated state of Qt4.
https://bitbucket.org/jpcgt/flatcam/issues/221/intent-to-package-flatcam-for-debian
In case someone can help usptream to swich to a Qt5 based flatcam please
feel free to do so.
Regards
Carsten
