Comment #5 by Gianfranco COSTAMAGNA:

Hi, the problem is that llvm is hard to maintain, and currently Debian provides
the 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and snapshots versions.

now we are doing a transition to llvm-3.6 as default, and gambas is not 
building anymore
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/llvm-defaults-3.6.html

(I'm planning to force 3.5 in the meanwhile, but it isn't the correct solution 
in the long term)

Upstream AFAIK doesn't support all of them, and this makes it even harder to 
maintain specially for LTS Debian releases.

So we are trying to migrate to newer llvm versions, and 3.4 will e.g. disappear 
soonish (we are currently working on ghc, the last
package that needs llvm-3.4, but for the new ghc releases they will bundle a 
llvm-style code, to build it internally when needed)
(they use it only for arm* and seems that they are going in this direction, 
even if I'm not sure it is acceptable for Debian and security)

QT4 AFAIK is not in the deprecation list, but they are removing the webkit 
support
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784465
(this is something that is slowing down the migration to the new gambas3 
release)

for sqlite2 I'm not aware of any deprecation ongoing effort, while for 
gstreamer I'm not sure what do you mean, we recently removed
gstreamer 0.10, as you can see here [1] [2] [3] but I see gambas3 is using 
already gstreamer 1.0, so I'm not sure what is the successor
of it, but we shouldnt bother too soon :)
