Dear buildnotify maintainer, TL;DR: Your package, buildnotify, currently depends on Qt4. However, it is planned that Qt4 to be removed in the future. Please update your package and upload a new version using PyQt5 to finish the Qt5 migration. Besides, I noticed that package buildnotify hasn't receive any upload since 2014. Are you still maintaining this package? If you cannot work on this package in the forseeable future, please tell us in a timely manner so that the package can receive proper treatment for QA purposes. ========== Begin mail template ========== Hi! As you might know we the Qt/KDE team are preparing to remove Qt4 as [announced] in: [announced] <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/08/ msg00006.html> Currently Qt4 has been dead upstream and we are starting to have problems maintaining it. In order to make this move, all packages directly or indirectly depending on the Qt4 libraries have to either get ported to Qt5 or eventually get removed from the Debian repositories. Therefore, please take the time and: - contact your upstream (if existing) and ask about the state of a Qt5 port of your application - if there are no activities regarding porting, investigate whether there are suitable alternatives for your users - if there is a Qt5 port that is not yet packaged, consider packaging it - if both the Qt4 and the Qt5 versions already coexist in the Debian archives, consider removing the Qt4 version For any questions and issues, do not hesitate to contact the Debian Qt/KDE team at debian-qt-...@lists.debian.org The removal is being tracked in <https://wiki.debian.org/Qt4Removal> ========== End mail template ========== Regards, Boyuan Yang
