Bug numbers should indeed have been provided. The tracker bugs are: |
7 |
#217528 - [Tracker] x11-libs/qt-4.4.0 unmasking |
8 |
#217161 - [Tracker] split Qt 4.4 |
9 |
|

Mostly it's a question of packages not having split qt-4 deps yet. Other |
11 |
than that, the ebuilds have seen enough testing, as they are needed for |
12 |
kde-4.1 for example, so that is not an issue anymore. |

Except that as per bug 217161 nothing should depend on the metapackage. |

At the moment I'm going through all the remaining open bugs. If things |
21 |
are easy to fix for me I am fixing the deps, otherwise I'm leaving a |
22 |
comment that the package needs fixing ASAP, because I don't want to wait |
23 |
with unmasking qt-4.4 any longer. I hope to be able to do that by |
24 |
tomorrow. (Although I'm still waiting on the remainder of the qt team to |
25 |
officially become a member.) |
