[Scidavis-users] SciDAVis linux builds are broken

[Russell S. <hp...@hp...>]

Hi everybody,

Sometime during June, whilst I was away travelling, someone pushed a
change to the default qwt project to upgrade it to Qt5. This broke the
scidavis build for all RPM-based repos, and even worse, it seems to
have broken the ability to install the previously built and published
RPMs.

I am in the process of trying to create a new libqwt5-qt4 package that
can replace the system supplied one. This will take some time,
alas. I'm awaiting for the built artifacts to become available for
this new package.

Once done, I will then attempt to set up a Qt5 build environment to
produce a scidavis-2.0.x build.

Another problem I've noticed is that Ubuntu is complaining that the
scidavis packages are unsigned or expired (I can't quite figure out
which). Very frustrating...

If anyone would like to step up to maintaining the OBS projects,
please be my guest. I would much rather be doing something else, like
getting Python working on Windows.

Cheers
