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?

21

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

43

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

Actually also for the QRCODES option (via OPTION_IMPLIES)

[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.

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.
