Hello Lisandro, the latest version supports Qt5 now... but it looks like we need to change the upstream URL. Here is the new upstream: https://github.com/Timmmm/robocut/blob/master/Readme.md It's like 6 to 7 years that I submitted the package and I forgot a lot... please give me a hint how we can fix this. Thanks!
