This is basically a heads-up for Qt users on Gentoo. We are about to add the |
| 6 |
new 4.5.2 release to portage. With this release we have changed a few things. |
| 7 |
We no longer have certain useflags enabled by default that are already enabled |
| 8 |
by the desktop profile. This means that if you are not using the desktop |
| 9 |
profile, you should look if any useflags have changed and decide which ones you |
| 10 |
want to enable. Or otherwise, that you no longer need to disable them if you |
| 11 |
want a minimal install. |
| 12 |
We also have removed the need for the libX11 dependency in qt-core and a |
| 13 |
couple of other non-gui modules. So you can now for example have a server-only |
| 14 |
install of quassel with minimal dependencies. The libX11 dependency is now |
| 15 |
only pulled by packages that really need it. |
| 16 |
Another thing that changed is that we dropped the custom-cxxflags useflag. After |
| 17 |
a long period of testing we haven’t come across any problems with “advanced” |
| 18 |
cxxflags in Qt 4.5, so now we always let the Qt modules be built with the user- |
| 19 |
specified flags. As this is an eclass level change, this means also users of the |
| 20 |
stable branch will see this change. An emerge --newuse world will trigger a |
| 21 |
recompile of Qt, but this means you will get better optimizations. |
