Opencv-python: Python package for opencv 4.5

[moneer88]

Dear Skvark

is there any timelines for building a new package for opencv 4.5?

Regards

[skvark]

All new releases are currently blocked by this: https://github.com/pypa/pypi-support/issues/712

4.5 wheels will be released when PyPI support raises the project size limit.

Hi, any update on this?
Thank you for all your hard work!

There are issues with macOS builds (cache stage & with homebrew in general) and Travis.

The whole Travis side of the CI toolchain needs to be refactored to some other build system since Travis does not provide a free plan anymore. For more information, check out this blog post: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/travis-cis-new-pricing-plan-threw-wrench-my-open-source-works

I have some "trial" credits remaining in Travis but I don't know if I'm able the fit any new releases inside that quota. I have absolutely zero interest in begging for some open-source quota from Travis monthly or more often. In any case, a large amount of refactoring is needed. I don't know if I have the time or energy to make the changes during this year.

Hello!

Can I know if the update is coming soon?

[skvark]

4.5.1 maybe this week if there are enough Travis credits left. The latest 3.4.x branch probably not possible to release before we have migrated away from Travis.

4.5.1 builds are running. Please note that Qt support was dropped in macOS wheels. If the native Cocoa GUI support is not enough, consider contributing:

• https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/376
• https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/423

Edit: There were enough credits to release 3.4.13 also. The same Qt deprecation applies to it also.
