[arch-dev-public] qt 4.8.0-rc1 breaks konsolepart and terminus-font
I tested this with the old KDE 4.7.2 only, not with 4.7.3 yet. When I upgraded to qt 4.8.0-rc1 and friends (kdelibs rebuild and all), Terminus wouldn't display properly in konsolepart anymore. The bottom of letters is cut off, so 'g', 'y', 'q' look weiord, and I cannot distinguis 'g' and 'q' any longer.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26624 Yes this is upstream, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280896 also, you could get a crash on logout/shutdown, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280896

thanks a lot for wasting our time. right now your qt package, which shouldn't be in any public repository because is a freaking rc, blocks our ffmpeg. every package that is in testing and community-testing and depends on qt has to be rebuilt again if we want to move stuff in extra. thanks a lot and i really really really want to remove that from testing. -- Ionuț

Just wait for 4.8.0 stable. Isn't so far away. -- Andrea

applications won't start, i can't move virtualbox anything.

that is what you say for the past 20 days. drop it, let us fix our packages and only when is final you are allowed to push that stuff into testing. -- Ionuț

When is the release date of Qt 4.8 and will it have the KDE issues (font rendering and crashes) fixed? Ioni has a point here though. Having packages in testing for too long tends to block other packages and rebuilds. So as a rule of thumb I would suggest that we don't put packages into testing that we wont release to extra as-is. This is esp. the case for beta software or release candidates. So right, if the release of Qt 4.8 is unknown we might be better off to revert this changes or move them to kde-unstable which is depends on testing anyway. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://pierre-schmitz.com

I agree that betas and RCs shouldn't go in [testing] for too long, but this is [testing] right? We can expect some annoying bug. Anyway, it wasn't my intention to freeze the [extra] updates.
So right, if the release of Qt 4.8 is unknown we might be better off to revert this changes or move them to kde-unstable which is depends on testing anyway. Unfortunately I cannot find a release schedule about Qt. I'm sending now a message to a couple of Qt devs. Just wait for my news.

Nothing is broken ATM.
that is what you say for the past 20 days. Where? RC1 has been released 25 days ago, I guess they will release the final tarball in a week or so.
drop it, let us fix our packages and only when is final you are allowed to push that stuff into testing. And rebuild more than ~22 packages? No thanks. It's the same boat.
