It's been brought to my attention that a bad side effect from using the |
| 4 |
preserve_old_libs method is that if an intermediary library, like qt3, gets rebuilt |
| 5 |
then you end up having both expat libraries linked against the kde libraries at the |
| 6 |
same time which causes rather undesriable crashes. Presumably this will affect |
| 7 |
GNOME in a similar fashion as well. |

In summary: there's no good way to do this, and someone is going to have to pick. |
| 10 |
No matter what, the choice will come with critism. I'm volunteering to take the |
| 11 |
heat, unless someone beats me to the punch. |
