Bug#1019042: [Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1019042: rust-qwertone: FTBFS - dep issue
Control: severity -1 serious This issue is now RC since it's not possible to build qwertone on Unstable now. But I expect qwertone will get an upload to fix this issue within a few days. See https://salsa.debian.org/debian/qwertone/-/merge_requests/1 Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
Bug#1019042: [Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1019042: rust-qwertone: FTBFS - dep issue
I strongly support removing the Rust GTK3 packages. We do not want to encourage more apps to appear in Debian with a dependency on Rust GTK3 which has been archived upstream meaning no bug reports or bug fixes are accepted. Before qwertone's recent upload (after Rust GTK3 was archived but probably unaware to the Debian maintainer), qwertone had been unbuildable for 2 years and was therefore removed from Testing. Besides qwertone, the only other app in Debian using Rust GTK3 is a mobile screen keyboard and I'm told it's not even as good as the other GNOME mobile screen keyboard. For things that we really want in Debian that can't be ported away from Rust GTK3 now, I prefer Matthias' proposal to vendor (whether completely or in part). Rust GTK3 is at least 9 crates alone. See https://bugs.debian.org/1064375 . It would also duplicate a lot of the existing Rust GTK stack to try to semver its dependencies (rust-glib, rust-gdk-pixbuf etc.). I don't have an exact count but it is a lot of packages to maintain. Yes, there is some hurry. We cannot land the GNOME 46 stack in Unstable without getting Rust GTK3 out of the way. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha

I partially started to patch gtk3-rs to use the newer glib from experimental. However, this is not really supported and I'd rather remove it now that it's EOL. For qwertone we can employ partial vendoring; this will also need to be done for squeekboard (in progress). I'd appreciate if you agree on vendoring gtk3-rs in so I can go ahead with my removal plans. This might be the best solution going forward. Personally, if we are going to keep gtk3-rs around, particularly if two or more apps are using it, I'd much rather it be in the form of individually packaged crates than as vendored copies in application packages. How much overlap is there between the gtk3-rs and gtk4-rs stacks? how many semver-suffix packages would we have to introduce if we wanted to keep the gtk3 stack the way it is while upgrading the gtk4 stack.

It's already been that way since at least the last gtk-rs transition and won't be viable to keep in debian imho. Upstream also seems to have ditched the project in favour of a rewrite. That rewrite never came, but meanwhile qwertone works quite well with gtk3-rs currently in Debian (since I’ve done the porting work in the latest upload). I forgot to mention: gtk3-rs is officially EOL upstream: https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs I partially started to patch gtk3-rs to use the newer glib from experimental.

I forgot to actually answer this question :) I would prefer if we could avoid a removal. I’m happy with qwertone as it is now, and I would hate to have to install it through a flatpak or something. -- Cheers, Andrej
