Hi,
I just wanted to ask what the status of QT4 is. There are some packages which cannot be updated due to dependency on the new version of QT.
It wouldn't be that bad idea to update qt before KDE4 is ready. I wonder if the following upgrade path works:
* introduce a qt3 package (just rename the current qt; files should stay in /opt/qt) * repackage those packages which directly depend on qt3. (there are not that many) * update the qt package to version 4 and install all files to /usr * packages like kdebase should still work because they do not directly depend on qt (from pacmans point of view) and search fore qt files in /opt/qt.
What do you think? Is it really that simple?

Since were not sure of the exact time when KDE 4 will be released, and speculation even pushing its release into 2008, I suggest we leave qt3 untouched for now at /opt/qt (with the package name 'qt' ) and introduce qt4 into extra at '/opt/qt4' and pkgname 'qt4'. We can avoid the repackage if we do it this way.. Varun
