[arch-dev-public] [draft] QT-4 and QT3 moved to [extra]
As announced last year* and after a longer period of testing, QT in version 4 and 3 was moved to [extra]. At least until the final release of KDE4 there are plenty of packages which still use version 3 of QT. Therefore a new package called qt3 was introduced. The dependencies of all packages are updated according to this change. The update should be quite smooth. Pacman only notfies about replacing qt by qt3 and qt4 by qt. If you don't want to have qt-4 installed just remove it with "pacman -Rc qt" after the update. If you are using any third party repositories like KDEmod please wait until they have updated their packages, too. Do not force any updates! If there are still any issues, please report them at http://bugs.archlinux.org. *) http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-November/002910.html -- http://www.archlinux.de

Be consistant- use either "QT version 4" (better, describes the actual package) or qt4 (pkgname, but this is not even right anymore).
If you are using any third party repositories like KDEmod please wait until they have updated their packages, too. Do not force any updates!
If there are still any issues, please report them at http://bugs.archlinux.org.
Maybe a final note saying "Community packages may not be updated with the new versioning scheme of QT, so give your TUs some time to make the required changes."

Thanks for your hints; I just end it to the ml and put it on the frontpage. -- http://www.archlinux.de

You've forgot to remove the '[draft]' from the subject. :-P Thanks for a good job with this move! -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

you're right. :-) but on the other hand this would be a good excuse if anything is wrong. -- http://www.archlinux.de
