Bug#876624: RFS: qr-tools/1.4~bzr23-1 [QA] (original) (raw)

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: david4dev@gmail.com algozino@gmail.com

Dear mentors,

This is a QA upload for package "qr-tools", which might went a little bit too
far from simply a QA. Anyway here is the information:

* Package name : qr-tools
Version : 1.4~bzr23-1
Upstream Author : David Green <david4dev@gmail.com>
* URL : https://launchpad.net/qr-tools
* License : GPL-3+
Section : python

It builds those binary packages:

python-qrtools - high level library for reading and generating QR codes
qtqr - Qt frontend for QR code generator and decoder

To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/qr-tools

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qr-tools/qr-tools_1.4~bzr23-1.dsc

Git packaging repository:

https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/qr-tools.git

...as you can see, it's more than just a QA upload. The biggest part is the
migration from PyQt4 to PyQt5 (since Qt4 is to be removed soon). AFAIK the
program is working well after the migration (tested locally).

I am CC-ing upstream authors here in hope that we could get contributions
merged back later.

Boyuan Yang
