[Bug 605027] Re: Please merge with 0.9.7.14-1 from Debian unstable

[Bhavani Shankar]

yeah fabrice

Its due to qt-assistant-compat being a seperate source package and
libqtassistantclient-dev is a build time dependency, But to make the
package install with qt 4.7 it is required I think(Please correct me if
I m wrong)

/me takes info from package description:

Package: libqtassistantclient4
Section: libs
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Breaks: libqt4-assistant (<< 4:4.7.0~)
Replaces: libqt4-assistant (<< 4:4.7.0~)
Description: Qt Assistant client library (runtime)
 Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature
 is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality.
 .
 This package contains the files necessary to run applications using the
 deprecated QAssistantClient class, which is used together with the legacy
 Assistant Document Profile (.adp) version of Qt Assistant.
 .
 This library is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. It is
 strongly advised against using it in new code. New code should use the Qt Help
 Framework introduced in Qt 4.4 and/or the version of Qt Assistant based on it
 (also introduced in Qt 4.4) instead.

which means newer versions should use:

Package: qt-assistant-compat
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Breaks: qt4-dev-tools (<< 4:4.7.0~)
Replaces: qt4-dev-tools (<< 4:4.7.0~)
Description: Qt Assistant compatibility binary (legacy)
 Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature
 is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality.
 .
 This package contains the Qt Assistant compatibility version, based on
 Assistant Document Profile (.adp) files, and the associated QtAssistantClient
 library, for compatibility with applications providing help in that format.
 .
 New applications should use the new version of Qt Assistant introduced in Qt
 4.4, based on the Qt Help Framework also introduced in Qt 4.4, instead.

Status in “qtiplot” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: qtiplot

Current version cannot be installed due to Qt Assistant changes in Qt 4.7 (bug #598826) so we need to add Build-Depends: libqtassistantclient-dev and Depends: qt-assistant-compat to debian/control.  Now would be a good time to merge with the latest Debian version.
