Bug#1002004: RFP: qt-android-N.M -- Qt for Android (build Qt applications for Android devices)
Control: retitle -1 RFP: qt-android-N.M -- Qt for Android (build Qt applications for Android devices)
Control: noowner -1
The packages for qt-android-N.M are almost ready and directly usable. The source package can be found on salsa [1] and the binary packages as well. They are also available on Launchpad PPA [1] from Qt version 5.15 until 6.9.1.
The use cases and challenges of qt-android-N.M packages have been mentioned during a dedicated talk at Debconf25 [3]. The slides and transcription of the talk are downloadable at [4] [5] [6] [7].
I don't have interest anymore in maintaining Qt for Android thus I will stop updating and maintaining it. However I would assist anyone willing to continue my work and to take the challenge to finally make it enter the Debian archive.
By the way, given that qt-android depends on binary packages of src:google-android-installers it would make sense that the maintaier of qt-android also maintains it. Indeed, the latest upstream versions of qt-android usually depend on the latest versions of Android SDK/NDK. See corresponding RFA (#1109636) [8]. src:google-android-installers is pretty easy to maintain.
