Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
QT3-final has been released. I'm sorry for misleading you to think there was |
4 |
more time yet before the final release. |
5 |
|
6 |
I can commit a qt3 ebuild right now - I have it ready. However we need * |
7 |
deps first. |
8 |
|
9 |
There will probably be relatively few qt3 apps of consequence before the |
10 |
release of kde3-final, which is scheduled for early February 2002 (accurate |
11 |
this time). So there's no need to hurry, but in case anyone wonders why we |
12 |
have no qt3 ebuild, that's why. |
13 |
|
14 |
There is however a problem with * deps. What I want is to be able to depend |
15 |
on >=qt-2.2, but not >=qt-3. But if I say >=qt-2* it might give me 2.1 or |
16 |
2.0, and if I say >=qt-2.2* it won't give me 2.3. |
17 |
|
18 |
I may be behind drobbins' ideas on this; this needs to be worked out. The |
19 |
problem is that portage dep resolution doesn't merge deps; if I say |
20 |
>=qt-2.2 <qt-3 |
21 |
it will actually give me 2 qts, one >=2.2 and one <3.0; for example, 3.0 for |
22 |
the first and 2.2 for the second and that's bad. |
23 |
I think that instead of * deps, or in addition to them, we need to be able to |
24 |
say something like |
25 |
3>x11-libs/qt-x11>=2.2 |
26 |
Only probably with a better syntax. |
