  1. when trying to build I get:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1314 (message):
  Found unsuitable Qt version "5.12.8" from /usr/bin/qmake, this code
  requires Qt 4.x
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake/Modules/Geant4InterfaceOptions.cmake:117 (find_package)
  cmake/Modules/G4CMakeMain.cmake:64 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:50 (include)

not sure if qt4 is still available (i think not very much so), but getting that
indictates me the build-depends are not correct.

not sure about the license discussion in the ITP, but thank you for packaging geant4, we need it too!

  2. addendum, https://geant4-forum.web.cern.ch/t/geant4-10-6-and-qt/1472/2
looks like missing b-d

  3. geant4-data distributes two Microsoft Arial fonts: /usr/share/Geant4-10.6.2/fonts/*.ttf

one is even named helvetica.ttf, but that's plain wrong:

$ otfinfo -i /usr/share/Geant4-10.6.2/fonts/helvetica.ttf 
Family:              Arial
Subfamily:           Regular

  4. Thanks for the reviews. Geant4 definitely builds with Qt5, maybe I forgot a b-d in control.
    Stephan Lachnit at Aug. 26, 2020, 9:23 a.m. 
  5. Yep, it's definitely: libqt5opengl5-dev which is missing. I'm using your package on Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 18.04.

  6. Worked on the package again, upload should be coming soon. Not uploading the dataset because it takes too long with my current internet connection.

It's now split into two packages:
https://salsa.debian.org/stephanlachnit/geant4
https://salsa.debian.org/stephanlachnit/geant4-data

Still has the fonts issue, but that won't change without dfsg repack which I don't have the time for currently.

  7. I've had a font issue as well, with stacer, I replaced the font with a free one (fonts-league-spartan), that could also work for you?

  8. Fonts will be fixed in Geant4 10.7.x: https://bugzilla-geant4.kek.jp/show_bug.cgi?id=2267

  9. https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/15 you're welcome, i really hope they will release 10.7.x soon, and that you get it into the next stable...

  10. Thx! Geant 10.7.x should be released in December afaik. I'll try my best yo get it into Debian 11.
