What could be done to get up-to-date modRana on Harmattan ?
But let's be constructive - I can see a few ways of improving this unfortunate situation:
  • porting Qt 5.1+, Python 3 and PyOtherSide to Harmattan so that the Qt 5 GUI can run
  • using my old GTK2/PyGTK port and running the GTK GUI on Harmattan (the needed packages could be hosted in the modRana repository on OpenRepos)
  • someone can take over maintainership of the Qt 4 GUI a improve it (aka the "patches welcome!" option )
I would vote for scond option (using GTK), even I really like(d) that Harmattan Modrana look.
As I do not see it in near future to have QT5 on Harmattan (neither Py3), nor do I see a Harmattan Modrana maintainer, do you?

Anybody else interested in Modrana on Harmattan, please shout out now ...
