Summary

Qt4 has been EOL since december 2015.

This depends on D17740 for the flavor deprecations.

I would say so, as they will be broken by the removal.

So better set their expiration dates to 2018-12-31.

deskutils/cairo-dock-plugins/Makefile

@tcberner can you add a conditional deprecation clause for the KDE_INTEGRATION option?

@tcberner Can you switch the default to GTK2 and bump PORTREVISION?

22

@tcberner Can you change the default to QT5 and bump PORTREVISION?

43

@tcberner can you drop the QT4 option by default and bump PORTREVISION?

can you change the default to QT5 and bump PORTREVISION?

Can you change the default to QT5 and bump PORTREVISION?

15

Actually also for the QRCODES option (via OPTION_IMPLIES)

33

Can you change the default to just WALLET and bump PORTREVISION?

print/qpdfview/Makefile

Can you bump PORTREVISION because of the switch to QT5?

[tcberner]

Address changes.

[rene]

Commandeering this revision, with some more updates:

• remove java/classpath from the patch, it already expires on 2018-12-02
• switch default flavor to qt5 for all qt4/qt5 ports and bump their PORTREVISION
• drop QT4 from OPTIONS_DEFAULT or switch it to QT5 and bump PORTREVISION
• conditionally expire net-im/hotot
• move EXPIRATION_DATE of all KDE4-using ports forward to 2018-12-31 (except when USE_KDE is empty or only contains automoc4

[rene]

Uploading the new patch fails, both with arc and the web interface.

Maybe, it should be split into a kde4 and qt4 diff?

[adridg]

FWIW, I'm going to take over qbrew and port to Qt5

Please don't. Qt4 does not imply KDE4, and if I won't be able to keep Qt4 alive, I'd have to revert the removal in my local tree. Reverting just the Qt4 bits (without the KDE4) would be a huge pain saver. Given there's still plenty of Qt4-based software, there should be some time gap between deprecating KDE4 from the generic, KDE-agnostic software.

There is, it's more 2 months. KDE4 will go by the end of the year. Qt4 by the end of the following quarter (with some lead time to clean up before cutting the quarterly). -- Software that depends on KDE4 therefore has to go on 2018-12-31 (as it will be broken by its removal).

[tcberner]

@rene : https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=485966 -- brew can be un-deprecated.

[rene]

Updating, see last comment

[rene]

• update to r486205
• mark some ports broken as they do not build (yet) with Qt5

Clients of multimedia/phonon should build with qt5 but poudriere gets confused,
stating it cannot find the qt5 flavor of multimedia/phonon

The USE_QT component for the qt5 one is phonon4, if I remember correctly.

Which ports are failing with that?

The fix for the phonon's is

FLAVORS=qt5 qt4

instead of using

FLAVOR?= ${FLAVORS:[2]}

Update to r486375

Fix switching to qt5 as default flavor for multimedia/phonon* [1]

• 2018-12-31
  • deskutils/strigi (is a leaf port that should go with KDE4)
  • graphics/kimagemapeditor
  • graphics/gnash has a KDE4-option
  • net/libproxy-kde
  • net-im/ekiga has two KDE4-options
  • print/frescobaldi should be deprecated (or updated to 3.0.0)
  • security/subversion-kwallet
  • www/opera
  • x11/kde4

[rene]

I put the deprecation notice for strigi in Makefile.common so that all four strigi ports get deprecated.

It looks like graphics/kimagemapeditor is a KDE5 port so it is fine?

[rene]

Address remarks from tcberner

PKGNAMESUFFIX= # hack: uses kde:4 but we don't want the pkgname suffix
^ right, that comment made the regexp match :D

[tcberner]

[rene]

self-approving, net-im/ekiga also builds fine without KDE4.
