Subject: QJson removal in Buster

Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2017 15:27:38 -0300

Source: openambit
Version: 0.3-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org
Usertags: qjson-removal

Hi! As you might know we the Qt/KDE team are preparing to remove Qt4.
This means that we need to remove QJson from the archive too.

In order to make this move, all packages directly or indirectly depending on
the QJson library have to either get ported to Qt5 or eventually get
removed from the Debian repositories.

Therefore, please take the time and:
- contact your upstream (if existing) and ask about the state of a Qt5
port of your application
- if there are no activities regarding porting, investigate whether there are
suitable alternatives for your users
- if there is a Qt5 port that is not yet packaged, consider packaging it
- if both the Qt4 and the Qt5 versions already coexist in the Debian
archives, consider removing the Qt4 version

= Porting =
                                                                                                                                                                     
Some of us where involved in various Qt4 to Qt5 migrations [migration] and we                                                                                        
know for sure that porting stuff from Qt4 to Qt5 is much much easier and less                                                                                        
painful than it was from Qt3 to Qt4.                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                     
Noreover porting from QJson to Qt5's QJson (part of the official API) tends to                                                                                       
be quite easy.                                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                     
Don't forget to take a look at the C++ API changes page [apichanges] whenever                                                                                        
you start porting your application.
