Here's where the mumble package stands: - mumble 1.2.x is not compilable with QT5. - mumble 1.3.x is compilable with QT4 and QT5 - After the painful experience when Ron Lee was the maintainer of the mumble package, upstream requested that I only release stable releases, and not snapshots. - mumble 1.3.x is desirable because with QT5 it supports encryption modes that provide perfect forward secrecy - I've had working packaging prepared for mumble 1.3.x for a long time (> 1 year) - mumble 1.3.x has not yet been released - mumble 1.3.x source contains unreleasable files including IETF RFCs such that building a -dfsg tarball would be needed to upload a 1.3.x version to experimental. I've discussed this problem with upstream -- their tarball release scripts need to be updated to strip these unreleasable files, but that work only needs to be done once a release is ready... - I discussed the -dfsg issue with several people at DebConf17 and some have mentioned using Files-Excluded in debian/copyright and tweaks to debian/watch to get uscan to build a -dfsg tarball automatically, which I'm looking into. I'm aware QT4 needs to be removed from Debian. I can talk to upstream about this, and see what I can do to create a mumble 1.3.x package that could be uploaded to experimental. *shrug* -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us

Package: mumble Version: 1.2.18-1 Severity: wishlist Mumble upstream apparently supports qt5 (at least in the 1.3.0 prerelease series, i don't know about earlier). see for example mentions of a QT5-only patch here: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/2728 and the build instructions here: https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/BuildingLinux#1.3.x mumble is one of the few remaining tools that keep me from purging qt4. it'd be great to have a version built against QT5. maybe use in debian experimental since 1.3.x hasn't been released yet? --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.11.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mumble depends on: ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.32-2 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.32-2 ii libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 0.6.32-2 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libg15daemon-client1 1.9.5.3-8.3+b1 ii libgcc11:7.2.0-3 ii libopus0 1.2~alpha2-1 ii libprotobuf10 3.0.0-9 ii libpulse0 10.0-2 ii libqt4-dbus4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-network 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-sql 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-sql-sqlite 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-svg 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-11 ii libsndfile11.0.28-4 ii libspeechd20.8.7-1 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.2-1+b2 ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1.2-1+b2 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0f-5 ii libstdc++6 7.2.0-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxi6 2:1.7.9-1 ii lsb-release9.20170808 mumble recommends no packages.
