As long as they do not produce releases there is little we can do with the current manpower. Let's be honest, it's mostly Dmitry handling it all by himself. -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer https://perezmeyer.com.ar/

Also note that now we get releases from Qt every couple of months, so sooner or later we will get most of the patches this way (and it will be easier to deal with the remaining ones). -- Dmitry Shachnev signature.asc Description: PGP signature

May be some communication between upstream KDE developers and Debian team would be good here? Expecting users to know what patches are important isn't a very reliable method. Thanks! Shmerl.

Because KDE does not make any releases, and because some patches break ABI, we decided to cherry-pick only individual patches that our users request. However, we made an exception for Qt Wayland, and the current Qt Wayland package in testing includes all patches from KDE up to 2022-05-14. This should fix the issues with Wayland session. Are there any other patches you want to have? -- Dmitry Shachnev signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Source: qtbase-opensource-src Version: 5.15.4+dfsg-3 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: shtetl...@gmail.com Dear Maintainer, KDE team maintains important patchset over official Qt that has a lot of bug fixes especially for the Wayland session use case. May be you can switch upstream directly to KDE Qt instead of pulling it from qt.io and then trying to add some patches?
