Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm maintaining a package of merkaartor in gentoo, of which the latest version |
| 4 |
requires qt 4.4. I'll mask that for now, but I'm not really happy with that. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I wanted to ask what are the showstoppers for qt 4.4 to get unmasked. The mask |
| 7 |
is commented with: |
| 8 |
"Masked for testing, various dependencies still need to be updated..." |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I don't like "masked for testing" comments (we have far to many of them), as |
| 11 |
it basically tells nothing. Testing what? How long? |
| 12 |
For the dependencies, I think this isn't a showstopper either, as if you don't |
| 13 |
have split dependencies on qt, it'll just take the metapackage and everything |
| 14 |
is like before. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So question, what are the showstoppers for qt 4.4? And more general comment, |
| 17 |
especially on important packages that many people rely on, please provide |
| 18 |
more informative comments in package mask, e.g. bug numbers. |
