Hi,

could someone have a look? it's close to the Beta freeze, and I want seeds this in the ubuntukylin.focal to improve the theme effects.

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for bother, and I also know it's a little bit late, but this is important for the consistent experience of Ubuntu Kylin, could someone ack this?

Thanks a lot!

Dear Ubuntu Teams,

I am both the member of UbuntuKylin and the author of qt5-ukui-platformtheme. I have a plea that please let the qt5-ukui-paltformtheme packaged into focal.

Even if I know for sure that this might cause a lot of troubles for packing a newly package after Featrue Freeze, there are more sufficient and urgent reasons that prompted me to initiate this request again.

Firstly, qt5-ukui-paltformtheme is not a single application but a basic environment of UKUI. It
almost effects all qt's applications in UKUI Desktop Environment. Insteadly if there is no a platformtheme, some qt's application such as Peony (UKUI's File Manager) will not work in correct because there is not a "driver" of theme to indicate them how to display themselves.

Secondly, as a lts release of UbuntuKylin, I do not hope that users getting an iso and start an experience many with obvious bugs. In fact the most of them is leaded by lacking of this package. I have try my best to consider how to fix these bugs in UKUI Desktop Environment but I still not find a way to resolve them, except letting qt5-ukui-platformtheme intergated into UKUI.

If someone try a daily build iso of UbuntuKylin, he or she will find that how serious the problem it is. For now we have provided a ppa[0] for resolving those bugs. qt5-ukui-platformtheme is also can be installed with the ppa. If we do nothing now, these bugs might still exist and difficult to maintian because of the lack of basic environment.

I must appreciate everyone here for the greate contributions. As an author of open source projects, I can only do very limited things for this case. So I hope that you consider my request again, and I will do my best to provide some strength.

Sincerely,
Yue Lan

Thank you for your contribution! I have reviewed the qt5-ukui-platformtheme package that's currently in the NEW queue and found only one issue: debian/watch is empty, while it should be pointing at the github releases for the project. handsome_feng is aware of that. Once this small change is done, I will be accepting the package!

Accepted! The only condition is: releasing 1.0.1 in the github upstream project and making sure that both the orig tarball used in Ubuntu and the github release tarball are the same.

Thank you, Łukasz! I was pleasantly surprised that you saw my request and helped me resolve my concerns so fast. Although this year has been a disaster, I believed that everything will recover and get better. Best Wishes!
