Qt4 > Qt5 #9

Closed RossGammon closed 8 years ago

RossGammon commented 9 years ago

Debian are looking to move to Qt5 from Qt4 over the next release cycle. Will Creepy work with python-qt5?

jkakavas commented 9 years ago

Hi, from what I've seen in http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/pyqt4_differences.html, there are a number of things that affect my code base, like splitting QtGui and QtWebkit in different modules and some other minor things.

So, a small rewrite might be needed, but I don;t see this as a big effort.

Hi.

Do you plan to do this rewrite for a future version of creepy, or leave it as it is and stay with Qt4 until someone else have time to rewrite the code for Qt5?

petterreinholdtsen commented 8 years ago

Qt4's WebKit is being dropped from Debian, and because of this the Creepy package in Debian no longer work. See https://bugs.debian.org/784619 for the release critical issue in Debian. Is there some alternative to get Creepy working again in Debian? The status for Creepy in Debian can be seen on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/creepy . It is currently removed from 'testing', which is the staging area for the next stable Debian release.

Hi, As Qt4's Webkit has been removed from Debian, the latest stable release (Stretch) can no longer run creepy using the standard Debian packages. A while back, I started work on porting Creepy to Qt5. I have just pushed that unfinished work to my fork: https://github.com/RossGammon/creepy/tree/qt4-qt5 I don't have the time (or the confidence) to finish the work just now, but I hope you are able to finish it from there so that we can get Creepy back into Debian. Let me know if you would prefer a PR, so you can more easily merge and finish the work. Cheers, Ross
