[aur-general] qt3 backend in python-matplotlib
Dear TUs, I am preparing an update of python-matplotlib to version 1.0.1. This package supports multiple backends for rendering graphics and plotting windows. So far, our PKGBUILD supported QTAgg which requires the old qt3. Considering that qt3 has no future, I wonder if it is still necessary to provide this backend. Any objections if I drop it ? I will also set the default backend to QT4Agg (user will still be able to change the default in the matplotlibrc file or in their scripts). Stéphane

From what I understand Qt4 is supported, right? If so, I agree that it's reasonable to drop support for Qt3.

You are right, QT4 is still supported. Stéphane
