This package has been unsupported upstream for several years:


I suggest we apply this patch as part of a major update — either a core-updates
merge, or a new release.

We should notify the people who contributed or maintained the affected packages
so that they have ample time to update the packages and avoid their removal.

What do you think?

* gnu/packages/qt.scm (qt-4, python2-pyqt-4): Remove variables.
* gnu/packages/chemistry.scm (avogadro): Remove variable.
* gnu/packages/education.scm (tipp10): Remove variable.
* gnu/packages/engineering.scm (qucs, qucs-s): Remove variables.
* gnu/packages/messaging.scm (pybitmessage): Remove variable.
* gnu/packages/password-utils.scm (keepassx): Remove variable.
* gnu/packages/pdf.scm (poppler-qt4): Remove variable.
* gnu/packages/patches/avogadro-boost148.patch,
gnu/packages/patches/avogadro-eigen3-update.patch,
gnu/packages/patches/avogadro-python-eigen-lib.patch,
gnu/packages/patches/tipp10-fix-compiling.patch,
gnu/packages/patches/tipp10-remove-license-code.patch: Delete files.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Remove them.

I've added some in-line notes

qt-4 when nothing depends on it, python2-pyqt-4 whenever

I hear this has been superseded by development of avogadro2, but someone
using it might want to let us know.

I don't know anything about this

I believe first introduced by Nikita, I don't know if they still use it,
and I'm disappointed by the stable release being years old and still
using qt4 and python2. I hear there is no concrete plans upstream for
the next release still.

IMO superseded by keepassxc

Apparently nothing depends on this, so probably free to go.


I'd like to hear from someone with regards to avogadro, perhaps also
qucs.

I'd also like to remind everyone that guix time-machine can be used to
go back to before these will be removed :)

Should we define a deprecation replacement for keepassx then?

It was marked as "superseded" by keepassxc in commit
b7ac10e6da6e2199aa379fdfa19bd43ca8fddc4d, in 2017.

Good thing I happened to see this message! I packaged Avogadro, and it
looks like Avogadro 2 uses QT 5 as its default GUI toolkit [0]. I can
add packaging Avogadro 2 to my Guix to-do list to make the removal of
the original avogadro package a non-issue.

Thanks,
Kei

Okay, let us know how it goes!

My plan is to contact the people that added or maintained packages
depending on Qt 4, giving them a few months to chime in.

Hello all,

Please see Guix issue 46107 for a draft of the Avogadro 2 package!

Hello,

This message is to notify you that some packages you contributed to Guix
(qucs and qucs-s) are going to be removed in the near-ish future due to
proposed removal of their dependency, Qt 4:


We hope that it will not be too difficult to update these packages to
work with Qt 5.

Sincerely,
Leo

Thanks for updating this package to use Qt 5, Efraim!

The only packages remaining without replacements are qucs / qucs-s and
pybitmessage, and I've CC-ed their authors to this thread.

I propose we remove Qt 4 in the next release (CC-ing the maintainers).

I've pushed an updated Qt 4 removal patch (attached) to the
wip-next-release branch.
