I help maintain geo things in pkgsrc, a multi-OS multi-cpu portable packaging system. We are struggling with programs still using qt4, and we currently have an old (0.17) version of merkaator.
Looking at the http://www.merkaartor.be/, I see a release in 2016, and the last mailinglist message was in November of 2017. So I am contemplating whether merkaator should be updated in pkgsrc, or dropped. Questions: Is 0.18.3 really the most recent release? Is there any reason to think a new release will be forthcoming? Is Merkaator a reasonable choice for OSM editing, it terms of working with current APIs and preset notions? Is there any reason why someone would choose to use merkaator rather than josm (other than wanting to use it on a platform where Java is unavailable)? Anything else I should be asking?
