Hello!
tldr: Is Kf5 being removed before trixie is released?
First of all, thanks for all the amazing work getting Plasma 6
into testing. I'm trying to make sure that some less-used KDE
packages don't get passed over by putting in some of the legwork.
In particular, I'm trying to make sure that kbibtex (a LaTeX
bibliography manager) makes it into trixie. My concern is
that Kf5 may be removed from trixie. I feel like I read this
somewhere, but I cannot find anything authoritative.
I'm not part of the Debian Qt/KDE team but the official statement was written down here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2024/11/msg00016.html
"The plans of the Qt / KDE team is to release Trixie with :
- Qt 5 & 6
- KDE Frameworks 5 aka KF5 (based on Qt 5) & KF6 (based on Qt6)
[...]
"
So probably no concerns.
If so, I'd appreciate any input on my attempt to get a Kf6
version of it into Debian [1]. The issue is that kbibtex is
mature software, and hasn't seen a release for over a year.
That release is already in Debian but does not build against
QT6/Kf6. Git master does, and I've built a local package that
seems to work (but honestly needs more testing given my
somewhat random choice of development snapshot). I was hoping
to get this maybe into experimental for a bit, and then into
testing right before the freeze.
If you want a Qt6 version of kbibtex, please push the upstream author to release one.
From the tracking point of view, kbibtex is still primarily a KF5 application: https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/repo-metadata/-/blob/master/projects-invent/office/kbibtex/i18n.json?ref_type=heads
That's the first bit that should be changed, i.e. a Qt6- only master branch.
Ciao
