Is there somewhere I can see the background/motivation for this? I still use PySide quite a bit and was caught by surprise by this migration. I'm sure there's a great reason why it happened, so I'm very curious.

needs to build with qt5, then it can come back :)

Even though the vanilla Homebrew version of Qt is 4.8? Okay.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely look forward to the hopefully-very-soon future where everything is Qt5 friendly ... feel like we've been waiting a while for it.

So, rookie question then: is there a way to "brew install" from the boneyard, or should I be looking to download & build the PySide source completely outside of Homebrew now?

We're removing the reverse dependencies with a plan to actively remove Qt 4 when we've done that. It doesn't build on 10.12 and never will and we're not going to try and fix that as upstream will never support it.

I get it's annoying but stuff like this is what's going to force people to adopt it.

You can still brew install from the boneyard but the formula is unsupported and we won't fix any issues you have when using it. https://github.com/cartr/homebrew-qt4 may be interesting to you and they may be willing to accept and maintain formulae we boneyard.

@robpieke it looks like PySide for Qt 5 is already a thing: https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2 so maybe that will make its way over to homebrew/core at some point.

Ok. So I have to maintain a legacy PySide app. It runs on Windows XP. (I know, my life sucks). How do I get the old PySide back? It needs to be for Qt 4.8. Thanks.

That's up to you; sorry! brew info pyside will describe how to view the formula.
