Please upgrade to Qt5

[tillea]

Hi,
there is a bug report for the Debian package that the imagevis3d package will be removed from Debian in the next stable release if it needs Qt4. I hope you will be able to port this software to Qt5.
Kind regards, Andreas.

Appreciate the ping!

Personal life's a bit crazy right now, and that's the only time I'd have for this. What kind of deadline do we have before it gets dropped?

Strictly speaking its the freeze for the next Debian release (may be end of 2018) but I'd strongly advise to not wait that long since the package would get no testing. I personally have no experience with Qt but was able to port a simple program by the help of http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sourcebreaks.html It should not be a big deal for you as the author of imagevis3d. Kind regards, Andreas.

Is there any chance that a Qt5 port will happen? If not I'm going to ask for removal from Debian for this package.
Kind regards, Andreas.
