Bug#1026933: Transition Qt 6.4.2

[Patrick Franz]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.d...@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: delt...@debian.org,debian...@lists.debian.org

Hi Release Team,

we would like to request a transition for Qt 6.4.2.

It is not a huge transition as only the following packages are affected
by it (if I'm not mistaken):

* calibre
* fcitx-qt5
* fcitx5-qt
* pyqt6
* qbs
* qt6ct
* qtcreator

Now, Qt 6.4.2 has not been released yet, but we have started packaging
and should be finished with it in 1-2 days.
Unfortunately, we don't know yet the exact date yet of the release.
The Qt Company is aware of the transition freeze and would really like
to get Qt 6.4.2 into bookworm, and thus they are trying to get it
released as soon as possible. Though, it might take until the first
week in January until it is released.

Here is the Ben file:

---
title = "Qt 6.4.2";

is_affected = .depends ~ /qt6-base-abi \(= 6\.3\.1\)/ | .depends ~ /qt6-base-abi \(= 6\.4\.2\)/;
is_good = .depends ~ /qt6-base-abi \(= 6\.4\.2\)/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /qt6-base-abi \(= 6\.3\.1\)/;
---

Thank you very much.

Hi,

we have uploaded Qt 6.4.2~rc1 to experimental.
We still don't know when the final release is going to happen, but the
rc1 version is sufficient to do the transition.

I will update this bug report once everything has been built
successfully in experimental.

Hi,

Qt 6.4.2~rc1 has now been built successfully on every architecture
except s390x where the builds have been queued. However, we don't see a
reason why 6.4.2 couldn't be built on s390x.

Testing migration is blocked by this hint:

# 2022-12-31
# uncorrdinated change of -dev package names
block qt6-base

Can you elaborate what the maintainer needs to do to get this transition
unblocked?

Kind Regards,

Bas

At this stage: nothing.

We have renamed a number of dev-packages such that all source packages
follow the qt6-$MODULE-dev scheme.
However, in the meantime we have added a Provides for the old package
names, such that you can continue using old dev-package names such as
libqt6core5compat6-dev.

We will file bugs against packages still depending on the old packages
and ask maintainers to switch. No timeframe has been set for this
though.
