Someone has been working on modernising kuickshow in a separate branch: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-devel/2022-November/001448.html I wanted to make sure you are aware of it, in particular wrt Wayland/X11 compat.
Previous mail to the list that got the developer started: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-devel/2022-August/001245.html
A new release would also be a perfect opportunity to bump ebuild to EAPI-8. This package is one of only less than 30 in ::gentoo inheriting kde.org.eclass and ecm.eclass with EAPI-7.
Thank you for pointing this out, I completely missed it myself. As you've already seen, we're currently working on some minor issues. I'll create a new Kuickshow release for Gentoo next weekend. It'll be either just a minor update with the current state in master, or a major one with the new code. Regardless, I'll update the ebuild to EAPI-8.
And apologies for always taking so long to reply to messages. I do read the eMail notifications but I tend to forget about replying if I don't do it right away.
No worries, I'm happy to sometimes be able to do my tiny bit in connecting some dots.
Any updates here?
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #6) > Any updates here? I'm still working on it here and there, but it has been very slow after my initial commits to that branch. I'm hoping to have something usable to release by the end of September.
Thanks. (If you pushed more often, upstream would be aware of that work ;)) EAPI-8 was done by me a couple of years ago, Qt6 porting is now the thing to do to keep this package in play long-term.
Version 0.11.0 should be live shortly. Unfortunately, there's no imlib support at all, at the moment. It is a Qt-only version right now. Both imliba require access to a Display structure which was in the X11Extras module in Qt5. That module no longer exists in Qt6, and the only way to get access to this now is through Qt's (new?) "Native Interfaces", which I haven't found so far in my Gentoo installation. Without those, the libraries can't be initialized. And I'm really sorry for the long delay.
Thanks for coming up with a PR! Ye olde QtX11Extras was moved to qtbase[gui,X] (specifically GuiPrivate) as qtx11extras_p.h. But yeah, that is no long-term solution, if it provides what you need at all. fwiw: $ grep -R include.*qnativeinterface /usr/include/qt6/ /usr/include/qt6/QtMultimedia/6.8.2/QtMultimedia/private/qplatformvideosource_p.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qscreen_platform.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qscreen.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qoffscreensurface.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qoffscreensurface_platform.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qopenglcontext.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/private/qguiapplication_p.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/private/qguiapplication_p.h:#include <QtCore/private/qnativeinterface_p.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/private/qkeymapper_p.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/qpa/qplatformscreen_p.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/qpa/qplatformwindow_p.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/qpa/qplatformoffscreensurface.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/qpa/qplatformmenu_p.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/6.8.2/QtGui/qpa/qplatformopenglcontext.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qopenglcontext_platform.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qwindow.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtGui/qguiapplication_platform.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtCore/qcoreapplication.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtCore/qcoreapplication_platform.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h> /usr/include/qt6/QtCore/QtCore:#include "qnativeinterface.h" /usr/include/qt6/QtQuick/qsgtexture_platform.h:#include <QtCore/qnativeinterface.h>
(if you search over invent.kde.org you will find many instances of porting away from QX11Info to QNativeInterface)
Thanks for the tip! I was looking at the Qt porting guide, tried to #include <QNativeInterface>, which didn't exist, then tried to find a platform integration package in portage, since it sounded like it was its own separate module, and which also didn't yield any results. I'll fix this in the next version. The Qt version is working at the moment.
Please also note that for any future bump supporting imlib, it should only support imlib2 in our packaging as we try to rid ourselves of imlib1.
