About The Project

Rules for source code migrations between library and framework versions, designed for the Equivalence Engine.

This repository contains SDL-based rulesets for evolving source code. Rules are organized by language and library binding to ensure precise and safe migrations.

Currently featuring comprehensive rules for PyQt5 to PyQt6 migrations.

Ecosystem

• Equivalence Engine — The core binary that resolves and applies these rules.

• Equivalence Engine Action — Modular GitHub Action to automate code adaptation in CI pipelines.

• Equivalence Rules: Code — This repository (PyQt, library-level migrations).

• Equivalence Rules: Filesystem — Rules for cross-OS path mapping and equivalency.

Usage

To migrate a Python project from PyQt5 to PyQt6:

  --library python/PyQt \
  --from 5.15 --to 6.0 --in-place

Contributing

New rules should be added to the appropriate rules/<lang>/<library>/ subdirectory. Each rule file should be named according to the version jump (e.g., 1.0-2.0.sdl).
