Suggestion: some killer apps based on qt5 e.g. wps-office and master-pdf-editor

[knyipab]

Here's a suggestion to make some killer apps for the glibc repo. Examples are wps-office (arm64 glibc binary) and master-pdf-editor-4 (x86_64 glibc binary) which address the pain point of office app options in Termux.

They both requires qt5. master-pdf-editor-4 is worth packaging becuz it is probably the only fully functional pdf editor (unlike master-pdf-editor-5 with much more functionality limits). For aarch64, it maya be packaged and run with box64.

That is, you are requesting to add the following packages:

• qt5 library and all its components
• wps-office program
• master-pdf-editor-4 program

With qt5 everything is clear, the only thing I ask you is to send home links to these programs/projects. Also, please read the policy for adding a package - https://github.com/termux-pacman/glibc-packages/wiki/Package-Addition-Policy

Yes, Qt5 build script is available in the Termu repo.

I did read the policy. Termux-pacman may assess wps-office and master-pdf-editor based on the policy The source of the requested package can be codes or binaries. But if the source is a binary, then the requested package must be popular. If not, they may be packaged in TUR when TUR supports glibc.

WPS Office

• https://www.wps.com/office/linux/ (aarch64 package is indeed available elsewhere and asking them to add to the website)
• AUR build script: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=wps-office

master pdf editor

• https://code-industry.net/masterpdfeditor/
• The free version 5 is quite useless though supports aarch64. Version 4 is full-functional. Link is documented in this Blog, with same domain as the official site so assume trustworthy.

I tried WPS Office in proot (aarch64) and master-pdf-editor-4 with FEX in proot (aarch64). It's great to have it packaged with glibc and no need to setup proot environment.
