Source: qt4-x11
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Although not very welcome in the past, it was at least possibly to use classes
from Qt4 Multimedia module in Debian when using QtMobility MultmediaKit.
The latter was removed from Debian and the former was not built because the
latter was in Debian. This obviously changed, so the reasoning for not
building
Qt4 Multimedia module is not valid anymore.
And no, not everyone ported to Qt5, yet. :-)
Regards,
Hendrik Sattler

Version: 4:4.8.7+dfsg-20+rm
src:qt4-x11 was last released with Debian 10 (buster)
in July 2019 and has been removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by newer versions.
See https://bugs.debian.org/953294 for details on the removal.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
