[arch-dev-public] qt>=4 release schedule
hi devs,
qtiplot 0.9 is now in testing and cannot be backported to work. (0.8.9 needs old qt>=3 but has also quite some problems for building)
therefore the only actually working qtiplot is now in testing. it depends on qt>=4 and pyqt>=4 (and newest qwt and qwtplot3d)
details here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6673
so i'm wondering if there is some news or a schedule of the release of new qt pkgs now in testing. what needs to be tested/rebuild so that we can move qt and all other pkgs related to it to extra?
for me everything qt4 related works so far for me (x86_64).

I don't use qt/kde apps in general, so I'm not sure where potential breakage would occur. If there's anything I/we can do to speed up testing on this, let us know.

The qt stuff is quite stable imho. The only showstopper I see atm is pacman itself. It still has the problem that it does not update the dependencies of allready installed packages. Afaik this will only be solved by pacman 3.1.

Could you point me to a bug report here? I'm not sure I remember this one

This is the whole requiredby issue- qt will be left with all the what should be qt3 deps because of basically a package name change, I believe.

Yeah, Xavier got to me first - this is a requiredby issue, which is totally removed in 3.1, yay.

Do you know when pacman 3.1 might be ready for a release? If we just ignore this issue and move this stuff to extra, will the broken dependencies corrected when the new pacman will be installed?

There won't be issues like "local db says that 'foo' depends on 'bar' but that's not true" because pacman 3.1 doesn't read/write such information in a local db. "Required by" entries in -Qi (and all other operations) are calculated at run time in pacman 3.1.

Yeah Roman explained it well enough. RequiredBy issues will just go away when pacman3.1 is released.
Judging from here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8109 There's not a huge amount of work left, and a lot of those are already done. Still, Dan would be better at predicting a release date...
