Hi, I'm still interested to do the packaging of flatcam.
Flatcam is while writing still depending on Qt4 in most or all of the parts, due the announcement of Qt4 removal within the Buster release preparation I contacted upstream and informed Juan Pablo about the planned Qt4 removal. Unfortunately I have got no feedback on this. I plan not to do further packaging until upstream has made some statement about further development of flatcam depending on the deprecated state of Qt4. https://bitbucket.org/jpcgt/flatcam/issues/221/intent-to-package-flatcam-for-debian In case someone can help usptream to swich to a Qt5 based flatcam please feel free to do so.
