As you might know we the Qt/KDE team are preparing to remove Qt4 [...] > The removal is being tracked in <https://wiki.debian.org/Qt4Removal> [...] Hello Eugene, I noticed that fbreader needs to be ported to Qt5, but the upstream project seems to be basically dead, as stated in [issue #285] (which is referenced on the Qt4 removal Debian wiki page). [issue #285]: <https://github.com/geometer/FBReader/issues/285> It would be really sad news, if fbreader had to be removed from Debian: it is a nice lightweight e-book reader. Some messages (currently) at the end of the above-cited [issue #285] claim that a Qt5 port is possible with a couple of patches ("pallegro commented Mar 30, 2016" and "idomeneo commented Nov 18, 2017"). See also the [Gentoo pr #5970]. [Gentoo pr #5970]: <https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/5970> Those patches seem to be based on version 0.99.4, which you [said] you were hesitant about packaging. Is it time to reconsider, perhaps? [said]: <https://bugs.debian.org/765039> I hope all this can be solved for the best. Thanks for your time and dedication!
