Let's wait a week for a response.

There is an open PR for openlp #314882

[emilazy]

I’m sorry for missing that! I’ve dropped the commit to remove the maintainers entry as it’s clearly not appropriate; I just saw that @jorsn had not made any commits since 2020 and assumed there had been no work on it. I’ve also reworded the removal message.

I think that it be okay to merge this PR in the interim, with no prejudice against adding OpenLP back with the update PR. The package doesn’t build at all right now due to the insecure qtwebkit dependency and incompatibilities with Python 3.12 and SQLAlchemy 2, and as it seems like the maintainer doesn’t use the package and nobody else has stepped up to help with it, I’m unsure if there is enough interest to get the update over the finish line and sustainably maintain this package.

@SuperSandro2000 thank you for pointing to my PR!
@emilazy Alright, I support that in principle, and thank you for not removing me as a maintainer :) However, in this PR, it is not entirely removed, but rather replaced by an error message stating it is removed. This sounds like a permanent thing, and I propose to add to the error message that a package for OpenLP-3 is being worked on – maybe even with the PR number (#314882). I think we can get the update for openlp, because Cyber_Raven offered help with maintenance in the forum. I was only too busy in the last two weeks to give starting instructions and update my PR.

Sorry again about that! I checked the commit log and your most recent GitHub activity, but I should have searched the tracker too…

That sounds reasonable to me. I’ve pushed a change that hopefully sounds softer and links to the PR with a call for help; we can always adjust it later if necessary.

Do you know if upstream is planning on supporting Qt 6? FOSS support for Qt 5 is ending next year, so that might be a problem down the line.

I found no information on this and asked in the forum: https://discuss.openlp.org/d/6878-qt6-support
