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!

If Qt5 were not that slow ... but I think I have seen this discusson on this list years
ago.

Interesting.

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.

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

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.
