Public bug reported: I would like to update sip4, python-qt4 and pyqt5 to their latest upstream versions: 4.19.3, 4.12.1 and 5.9, respectively.
The main motivation for this is pyqt5: I want to ship a pure upstream version with proper support for Qt 5.9, instead of 5.7 with hand-crafted patches that we have now. Also, with sip 4.19 the sip ABI should become more stable, which should make future maintenance easier. Upstream announcement for sip 4.19: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/news/sip-419. * sip4, python-qt4 and pyqt5 need to be synced from Debian experimental; * all packages that build-depend on python-sip-dev, python3-sip-dev, python-qt4-dev or pyqt5-dev need to be rebuilt; * ball and qtiplot need to be patched to fix FTBFS with sip 4.19; * pyqwt3d and tulip need to be patched to fix FTBFS unrelated to sip. I have all the patches ready, and I will prepare the rebuilds in a silo PPA prior to landing, if I get the exception. This transition was not done before feature freeze because I was waiting for the Qt 5.9 transition to finish first (to avoid collisions). ** Affects: sip4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713259 Title: FFe: sip 4.19 transition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sip4/+bug/1713259/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
