PyQt4/Qt5 package the upgrade process should<br /> be rather painless. If there's none, all plugins will need an<br /> update anyway and IMO the two changes PyQt5 and Python 3 should be<br /> grouped. Sebastiaan, do you know anything about this package?<br /></blockquote><br />I'm not involved in the Python or PyQt packaging, so I have no<br />intimate knowledges of those packages.<br /><br />Both the python-qt4 [1] and pyqt5 [2] packages in Debian have the same<br />people involved.

We are
struggling already with that on<br /> Android. Alternatives * QtWebEngine is the future but only<br /> available starting from Qt 5.4. So this is not an option now. *<br /> QLabel/QML: Where it's only used for richtext, a QLabel can be<br /> used. Where there's javascript involved it may be worth<br /> investigating the use of QML.<br /></blockquote><br />The planned removal of the Qt4 WebKit component in Debian is the<br />primary reason to switch to Qt5. Sticking to the Qt5 Webkit until Qt<br />5.4 is widely available seems like the road of least resistance.<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br /><br />Bas<br /><br />- -- <br /> GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1<br />Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1<br />-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----<br />Version: GnuPG v2<br /><br />iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVTyQDAAoJEGdQ8QrojUrxg6kP/Aj8sSsq6eOSG5EKQbbzG2YP<br />xazhDxSbrPJGKql2LaPDOwMb5ChlkTQUi13SZi9Y3B6iUU0IQ11B8zvsTDz+qUC5<br
