> qt4-x11 (U) > qtbase-opensource-src (U) I'm afraid this are not good news from the Qt side. = Qt 4 Qt 4 is dead upstream, so we have two choices: - Someone to come up with a patch. - Remove libSSL usage, causing a nightmare for many Qt4-based apps that are still in the archive. I have learned the Qt does a heavy usage of libSSL, so porting might not be trivial. For whatever of the two possible choices above I would not mind going ahead with them for Buster, but for Stretch I think it's too late. Even if we had a patch I would really want some time to let users check everything works as expected, and we are currently have less than 6 months already :-/ = Qt 5 The Qt 5 situation is similar, except releasing Qt5 without ssl support is, I'm afraid, a non-go. The Qt upstream in charge of the ssl code said he *might* probably have libssl 1.1.0 support ready for 5.8 [note] which will happen too [late] for releasing Stretch. Having a non-official patch might be doable, but we still need someone to code it and time to test it. Again, with the current Stretch time frame, I don't think that's doable. [note] It's worth to note that he is not working on simply adapting the new code but a complete rewrite of the SSL usage in Qt, so even if we had a patch I don't think we could have him reviewing it in the short time. [late] End of year as early. Thanks to Sune Vuorela for asking upstream about this :) -- Evite los parámetros estáticos. Si son inevitables, haga que el emisor y el receptor negocien un valor.
