Hello,

Yes I can comment on that. It has started and I am not sure how much work
is still needed.

It is possible to compile with Qt5 with the branch remove-qt3 [1]. But many
things are not working. This branch is based on the QG-port-## branch
series below.
To get some functionality back you need to go to the latest QG-port-## [2]
(still using Qt4)
Schematics can be loaded, items can be inserted and moved around. That is
about it, besides some cleanup of old cruft.

There are still quite a few issues and cosmetic things that needs to be
done.
The easy ones are a few mouse actions that need to be restored, diagrams
need some attention, printing and saving are also half broken.
More critical is that quite a lot of code legacy code might need changes to
work with the scene/view framework. Things like updating the items
self-position on the scene, detection of overlap of ports and wires could
be deprecated by using the framework. Maybe we can find a way for it to
work (inefficiently) as is and get it going with Qt5. I am not sure how
much work is needed here because I did not touch those portions yet.

I have a pretty good idea of what is missing, but not much time lately to
work on it.
I will try to free up some time to move the branches and some notes to the
main repo.
We should make this a priority, plan some actions and work together on this.

Regards,
Guilherme
