Hi all, OK, I managed to spare some time tonight and get the packaging mostly done...
It now builds properly, against Qt6 and I imported the upstream Qt6 support patches (some Qt5 serialport library has gone from Debian, switching to Qt6 was just easier for me). I've fixed almost all of the packaging issues and the app installs & seems to run properly. There is some issue for me running under Gnome/Wayland (was there with older version & Qt5 too) where the GUI seems to not render correctly around tables etc. Running `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb SavvyCAN` seems to make it appear OK, but I don't think this is optimal. I didn't test the app with a real canbus adapter yet (my canable adapter is hiding somewhere in a box somewhere due to moving house recently), so that will be the final test I do before uploading the package into NEW queue. Comments on packaging welcome at https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/savvycan/-/merge_requests/1 Cheers!
