Dear Release team,

Qt 5.15.19 is the last release of Qt 5.

I have submitted a merge request with the ben file:
https://salsa.debian.org/release-team/transition-data/-/merge_requests/69

The prepared packages also have the following fixes:
- qtbase: Fix build with OpenSSL 4 (#1137599).
- qtbase: Drop dependency on mysql-defaults (#1137755).
- qtwebengine: Fix build with glibc 2.43 (#1128869).
- qtwebengine: Stop building PDF packages (#1131703).

The transition is prepared in experimental, ready to be uploaded to unstable.

After we are done with this transition, I will focus on removing Qt 5 in favor
of Qt 6.

Hi Emilio!

Thank you. Qt 5.15.19 is uploaded and built on most architectures,
only riscv64 is lagging behind a bit.

I think you can schedule binNMUs with appropriate dep-waits, e.g.
qtbase5-dev (>= 5.15.19).

I see a few reproducibility issues, see e.g. [1], [2], [3]. Not sure if there
are others. Can you take a look?

Cheers,
Emilio

Actually let's not touch those for this round, and given you said you'll work on
removing Qt 5, it's probably not worth spending time on that anyway.

OK, thank you.

The qt3d issue looks like is gone after retry.

The qtlocation one is really flaky tests, not a reproducibility issue.

The only real remaining issue is in qtdeclarative, which seems to be a bug in
qdoc. I will drop Qt 5 documentation packages at some point, so we only need
to care about it if it still exists in Qt 6.

I needed quite some hints due to what looks like a britney issue when scheduling
tests, but this has finally migrated. Closing.

Cheers,
Emilio
