You are right, there are currently no known problem with qt3 and qt-4. The only showstopper is pacman. ATM pacman does not update the dependencies of a package. And because I changed qt to qt3 and qt4 to qt you will get some strange results when trying to remove packages etc.. This bug is fixed with the upcoming 3.1-release. -- archlinux.de

We'll see. Last year I thought pacman 3.1 is just about to be released. But it seems to be delayed. -- archlinux.de

I think one of the pending things is a german translation. Also, testing is always appreciated. Both of these things will help get pacman out the door faster, and both of them you could help with, if you're waiting on it. (Side note: de, es, pl_PL, pt_BR, and ru_RU are all pending translations still)

Afaik Matthias is working on this. I'll ask him if there is still some work to do.

If translation are the only showstoppers atm. I would suggest to just put it into [testing]. Translations do not need to be perfect when testing pacman and it would not hurt if some outputs are still in english. If there are no critical bugs which might mess up your system it would be nice to see pacman 3.1 in [testing]. -- archlinux.de

I've had a pacman-git repo for some time where people can test it out, and we still have some install issues to work out, unless we don't care about wiping people's abs conf files (in all seriousness, do we?). In addition to that, once I make a release, it is a *release*. Meaning I make tarballs, solidify the lib so number, etc. So "dropping it into testing" works the same as any other package- I can't just update it there every day willy-nilly when people find issues, which is why I want them ironed out before I release 3.1.0. -Dan

We're talking two different things here. Releasing a PACKAGE is totally different than releasing an APPLICATION. I'm positive Dan is well aware of what it takes to deliver a piece of software.
