Without a port to KDE Frameworks 5 this will need to be removed eventually. All hope is not completely lost since it was ported away from kde3-/qt3support, but under the last known upstream maintainer there was no activity in many years.
AFAIK upstream only supports gwenview now. I've created a Git repo and imported all commits related to kuickshow from KDE's SVN repo into that. It's not yet public because I'm still cleaning up the history of various translation files which should be done by the end of this week. After that's done I'll put it on GitHub and continue to try to move the code to KDE5. When do you plan to remove KDE4 support?
Did you talk with upstream to look into continued hosting of the repository on cgit.kde.org and thus benefiting from the existing translations workflow? I'm sure that would have been an option. From KDE side, first Applications release without kdelibs4-based packages will be 17.12.0, and stabilisation of that probably won't happen before February '18. When you look at the remaining list, there is still some way to go: https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/kde-frameworks/kdelibs So this is an early notification.

Not yet. I'm still not sure if the port can be done easily. There's also the use of imlib which seems to be problematic. imlib.h includes some X.Org header files which do nasty stuff like #define'ing "index", "KeyPress", "None" and various other names used by Qt in enums. So as long as imlib is used, there's at least a chance that things will suddenly just break. Until I've figured out these issues and actually ported the app, I just wanted to focus on the code without dealing with any KDE bureaucracy, especially if it's just for the translations. (They can still be done later.) > From KDE side, first Applications release without kdelibs4-based packages > will be 17.12.0, and stabilisation of that probably won't happen before > February '18. > > When you look at the remaining list, there is still some way to go: > https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/kde-frameworks/kdelibs > > So this is an early notification. Ah thank you, that's good to know. My goal was to have something concrete in a month or two.
A revbump dropping KDE_LINGUAS will be necessary in order not to be blocked by the upcoming KDE Applications 17.12 release.

What's the status on kuickshow? I remember watching a #kde-devel discussion about the kuickshow repository, did you create an upstream sysadmin ticket for that? Anything we can track from here?

The creation of the final repository is still a work in progress. I do however have a tarball with the ported code and a working ebuild for KDE 5 ready, if time is an issue.
It's certainly not the last kdelibs-revdep at this point, but it is always nice to be able to tick off another item. ;) The prospect of this being revived on cgit.kde.org is good enough for me to add it to tree. If it helps, I could upload the tarball to my devspace.
That would be great. I haven't found anything in the Gentoo docu yet on how to upload new tarballs on my own (I probably don't have the permissions to do so). Should I send it to your Gentoo eMail address? It's a little under 1MB compressed.
Yes, just send it should be fine. I can then fix the ebuild SRC_URI while pushing.
