Hi there.
I thought this might be of interest to Trinity desktop, "if there are no activities regarding porting, investigate whether there are suitable alternatives for your users".
Trinity could fit in there.
Speaking of porting to Qt5, is there a wiki detailing what bugs/issues there are regarding the Trinity desktop migration to Qt5?
Regards, Philip Ashmore

Hi everyone! This is the required notice before starting with the mass bug filling in order to *try* to remove Qt4 in Buster.
You can see the announcement here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/08/msg00006.html
We have a wiki for tracking the status in https://wiki.debian.org/Qt4Removal
I'm attaching a list of DDs involved.
Thanks!

I heard it was too much work and not possible because of resource constrains.

Interesting.
We are living in an Open Source World, and with it the opportunity to collaborate and do things we, as individuals, could once only dream of.
Was a project plan drafted, such as the migration order for libraries/programs so that the smallest core of Trinity could be tested with Qt5, followed by successively bigger lists of the dependent libraries/programs to bring the whole of Trinity/Qt5 into the light.
With such a plan, the means of managing the migration as well as the opportunity for contributors to assist would become a reality.
Qt5.9.1 is out, and with Qt4 being dropped by Debian, the opportunity to bring Trinity into Debian just sweetens the deal in my humble opinion.

Did you read my previous post?
There are no ressources on TDE to do this. All of us work in the free time we have besides normal work and family, so it is not possible unless we have more people/developers to do the work or financial support. If you can financially support us, we can dedicate time to moving things to Qt5, if not just stop dreaming and become realistic. For example I estimate about at minimum 70-100k brutto a year per developer to work full time.
