I used zypper to find Qt4 dependent packages in current Nemo, and then started looking for the Qt5 alternatives, crosschecking OBS and GitHub.
 
  
There are some packages which I'm not sure whether we can drop them, or we have to replace them with something else.

Intro

Hello guys :) It's faenil here,

I've been looking into making a Qt4-free, Wayland based i486 VM Nemomobile image... so that we can start porting core Nemo apps to Qt5 and, when all apps are ported to Qt5 harmattan components, start looking into QtQuickControls for Nemo's upcoming Glacier UI :)

Big thanks to Stskeeps and everyone who helped me in this project so far :)

Current status

After few days of hacking, we have a Nemo Wayland image ready! :) It's very basic, it boots to a QML Wayland compositor and uses the work-in-progress Qt5 version of the current Nemo homescreen ;) It should be enough to proceed to the next step: porting core Nemo apps to Qt5/QtQuick2!

You can find the status of current Nemo apps ports on the Qt5 ports page!

We need help porting apps! Most of the apps are already using Harmattan QML components (com.nokia.meego), so the porting work shouldn't take a lot of time ;)

Please join us and give a hand! :) More details on the Qt5 ports page
