The only discussion I was able to find is this one: https://bitbucket.org/jpcgt/flatcam/issues/221/intent-to-package-flatcam-for-debian It seems that upstream is now correctly using pyqt5, at least in their Beta branch. > Why do you want to name the package flatcam-beta? Because flatcam's master branch itself seems abandonned since 2019 and misses a lot of useful features. As long as upstream is not making a proper release and is keeping development in the Beta branch, I am only interrested in using (and packaging) flatcam-beta and not flatcam itself. See https://bitbucket.org/jpcgt/flatcam/branches/ for the difference between the two versions: 2865 commits. I do not intent to update everytime a new Beta release is made, but want to be able to install Flatcam Beta easily without running into a lot of dependencies issues that I am currently facing with upstream's Beta branch. Any thoughs on this approach are welcome! Romain.
