Yes, upstream switch from gtk to qt. > If the plan is to eventually do the same in the main ubuntu repository, Yes, according to my understanding, hgtk will no longer be developed. natty will still have hgtk though, the switch to the qt version will happen with ubuntu 11.11. > I suggest an improved upgrade path.

I actually do not want to rename the package. What about just having hgtk to be a script that warns the user about the switch and then call thg? > PS: Why does the tortoisehg package still depend on python-gtk2? Does > thg use both gtk and qt? I cannot answer this question. Note that I am speaking about the tortoisehg package in Debian which will be merged in ubuntu 11.11. Such package for version 2 does not exist yet. You are using a package from a PPA. Thank you for your comments and suggestions!
