Please make valkyrie V2 or V3 available on EPEL8
Has development of valkyrie been halted? Is it tied to qt4? Will it be upgraded to use qt5 or qt6? Any response on valkyrie rpm status would be greatly appreciated?
(In reply to Will from comment #1) > Has development of valkyrie been halted? As you can see from its repositories, valkyrie hasn't seen any development since July 2011, and no release since October 2010. Luckily, Fedora is still dragging it along in its repositories. > Is it tied to qt4? It is, but quite loosely. There does exist an attempt to port to Qt4 here: https://github.com/raikikon/Valkyrie I have taken that, fixed it a bit, and merged it into the valkyrie source tree, incl. some other fixes (the patches included in RedHat/Fedora, and some deprecations): https://github.com/barsnick/valkyrie https://github.com/barsnick/valkyrie/tree/valkyrie-qt5 See my copr builds here (available for EPEL, CentOS and Fedora): https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/barsnick/non-fed/package/valkyrie-qt5/ It seems to work as good as the Qt4 original. from a quick test. > Will it be upgraded to use qt5 or qt6? Not from upstream, I don't think. Porting to Qt6 may be possible, I haven't tried yet. > Any response on valkyrie rpm status would be greatly appreciated? Note: I am not a maintainer, I just play around with this stuff.
Though I don't use it myself now, I have some Qt dev experience and continue working in the space occassionally. If someone is maintaining (even forked) upstream, I'm happy to assist with Fedora packaging. And share the packaging duties with new co-maintainers is anyone here is interested?
(In reply to barsnick from comment #2) > Porting to Qt6 may be possible, I haven't tried yet. I have now ported to Qt6 as well: https://github.com/barsnick/valkyrie/tree/valkyrie-qt5-qt6 RPMs here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/barsnick/non-fed/package/valkyrie-qt5/ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/barsnick/non-fed/package/valkyrie-qt6/ (Note: These conflict with each other, and with the Fedora upstream valkyrie package.)
