#1177190 — Bug#1057407: texworks: Intent to drop poppler-qt6 on i386

Source: texworks
Version: 0.6.8-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: hille42@web.de

As the maintainer of Debian's poppler source package, I would like to
drop poppler's Qt6 packages on i386. This would allow Debian's and
Ubuntu's poppler packaging to be in sync. Ubuntu has dropped i386
support except for enablement of games and similar legacy apps but
none of those apps need Qt6. Based on debian-devel discussion in June,
I expect Debian to eventually take a similar approach to i386.

texworks is the only package that uses poppler's Qt6 in Debian. Please
let me know if it's ok with you if texworks is no longer built for
i386 in Debian.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

I think this should wait until Debian has taken such approach.

I would expect most poppler-qt5 using packages to switch to poppler-qt6 over 
the next 6 months. Especially I expect Okular, KDE's document viewer to switch 
over in beginning of march, and I don't expect us to drop that yet.

It is fine that poppler qt5 apps switch to poppler qt6. I do not see
any need for those apps to built on i386 since i386 is not intended to
be a full, directly installable desktop architecture in the next
stable Debian release. I do not see any usecase for okular i386 to be
available on an amd64 system.

Please read https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/12/msg00003.html
if you have not already.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

Then I think you should drop anything except poppler-utils and libpoppler141 
at once rather than trying to slice it like this. 

I see just as much need for poppler-qt6 as I do for poppler-glib and poppler-
qt5.

My plan is to first get a newer poppler from Experimental into
Unstable. After that poppler transition completes, then I can stop
building poppler qt6 on i386 and ask the ftpmasters to remove poppler
qt6 on i386 and texworks on i386. I don't think there is anything we
need to do to the texworks packaging; texworks will just be in depwait
status on i386.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
