Help required: riseup-vpn

From Nilesh Patra@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 4 14:30:02 2024

Hi all,

I am trying to update riseup-vpn to its latest version. I am seeing some confused mix of qt5 and qt6 - not really sure how qt updates for applications work. I tried to replace qt5 packages (builddeps) with its qt6 equivalents but I
end up with:

| ==============BUILD GUI===============
| TARGET: bitmask-vpn
| VENDOR_PATH: providers
| [build.sh] VENDOR_PATH = providers
| [+] Building BitmaskVPN
| lrelease: could not find a Qt installation of ''
| make[2]: *** [Makefile:151: build_gui] Error 1
| make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/_build/src/0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn'

I was getting a different error with qt5:

| /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmlcachegen --resource=/tmp/riseup-vpn_/_build/src/0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn/gui/gui.qrc -o release/gui_main_qml.cpp ../../gui/main.qml
| Error compiling qml file: ../../gui/main.qml:0: error: Library import requires a version
| ../../gui/main.qml:0: error: Library import requires a version
| ../../gui/main.qml:0: error: Library import requires a version
| ../../gui/main.qml:0: error: Library import requires a version
| ../../gui/main.qml:0: error: Library import requires a version

But given that the readme says to use qt6, I should not be using qt5 here. The versions from the qml file have been omitted in this release.

I am also puzzled with different paths for the same binaries across qt versions for instance qmlcachegen is:

qt6-declarative-dev-tools: /usr/lib/qt6/libexec/qmlcachegen qtdeclarative5-dev-tools: /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmlcachegen

Why is that?

In any case, I am not sure how to proceed from here (the error with lrelease). Can anyone help out, please?
My changes are available in salsa at: https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/riseup-vpn

I'd appreciate any pointers.

Best,
Nilesh

Presumably so one can co-install the dev tools for multiple releases
of QT.

Why not use /usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmlcachegen and /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmlcachegen then? The names of binary packages are also inconsistent and I am not sure if there;s a good reason for that?

You can tell the GUI build script to use the qt6 lrelease and qmake
binaries:

Yep, I came up with a similar patch eventually :)

Best,
Nilesh

I could get it working with:

cd $(BUILDDIR) && $(MAKE) build VERSION=$(VERSION) LRELEASE=/usr/lib/qt6/bin/lrelease QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake6 PROVIDER=riseup TARGET=riseup-vpn

in d/rules. Seems lrelease from qtchooser does not work properly for qt6?

Best,
Nilesh

Each component of an upstream program has to design itself to use either Qt5 or Qt6.
When you are packaging it in Debian, you have to use whatever the upstream code is
designed for. Many programs are in the process of switching their code base from Qt5 to
Qt6, which appears to be the case here.

README.md indicates that the upstream code requires Qt6 >= 6.6.

You need to make sure you have all of the components listed in the main CMakeLists.txt
available in your Build-Depends.

https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/riseup-vpn/-/blob/debian/sid/CMakeLists.txt?
ref_type=heads[1]

target_link_libraries(bitmask PRIVATE
# Remove: L../../lib
Qt::Core
Qt::Gui
Qt::Qml
Qt::Quick
Qt::QuickControls2
Qt::Svg
Qt::Widgets
${LIB_TO_INCLUDE}
pthread
)

Most of these look like they are included in qt6-base-dev.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/qt6-base-dev/filelist[2]

A bunch of others are in qt6-declarative-dev.

_https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/qt6-base-dev/filelist_

However, both of these packages are currently version 6.4 in unstable. Version 6.6 is being
worked on as we speak, but if upstream really does have a hard dependency on 6.6 it isn’t
surprising that it doesn’t currently build.
