It would be nice to have glabels 4.x in Debian. Could you consider
packaging it?

Thanks!

Hi,

Saw your email and I had a look. glabels the GTK/GNOME version seems to stop at 3.4.1 and if you
now go to glabels.org it forwards to:

https://github.com/jimevins/glabels-qt

and as it suggests the 4.x development of this new major version is QT based only.

The choice here is to find out if 3.x will be maintained and do we package as 'glabels-qt' as a
separate package entirely. Many questions to be answered.

Regards

Phil

Yes, I already thought about it. Given its development came a long way
now, it might make sense to have it in Debian.

There doesn't really seem to be any activity on 3.x anymore. I intend
to contact upstream about maintenance and small bugfixes given 3.x will
be around for some time.

4.x being a rewrite, I intend to package independently. Most probably
as glabels-qt as upstream calls it that way.
