(I'd like to hear your thoughts and comments on the matter below before I |
| 2 |
start the process of changing ebuilds to comply.) |

|

With Qt4 entering portage, we are going to start running into a dependency |
| 5 |
problem with ebuilds that do: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
DEPEND=">=x11-libs/qt-3.2" |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Because Qt4 satisfies this depend even though it's not compatible. Enter my |
| 10 |
proposed qt.eclass (which also replaces kde-functions.eclass for people who |
| 11 |
are using it strictly for Qt). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Now you can: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
inherit qt |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
DEPEND="$(qt_min_version 3.0)" |
| 18 |
or |
| 19 |
DEPEND="qt? ( $(qt_min_version 3.1.2-r2) )" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And the eclass will expand out all Qt3 ebuilds which satisfy the statement. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If you don't need anything this fancy (that is, if the ebuild will work with |
| 24 |
any Qt3 version), then the eclass isn't necessary; just change the ebuild to: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
DEPEND="x11-libs/qt-3*" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
As an added bonus, you get an exported pkg_setup function which will handle |
| 29 |
some of the same checks that were handled via kde-functions. |

Thanks, |
