But this isn't about upgrading Qt, it's about the packages that depend on it. |

If you change deps from >=qt-3.0 to =qt-3.3 then nobody will be able to work |
7 |
with a Qt dependant package until they upgrade Qt. In the same regard, there |
8 |
are people still using Apache1 whom we aren't forcing to upgrade to Apache2 |
9 |
just so they can use some of the apache modules. |

Also, another downside to the =qt-3.3 approach is that it doesn't cleanly |
12 |
handle the cases of ">=qt-3.3.2-r1". |
