1 Hi there,
2
3 Upgrading some packages today I saw:
4
5 Qt3 is deprecated and unsupported, both upstream and by the Gentoo Qt
6 Project. x11-libs/qt:3 will be removed from portage soon. See
7 http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_f988855f798764822704bbbd743ab6f7.xml
8 You are encouraged to use Qt4 instead.

10 However when I try to resolve this, I find that only 3.3 versions are
11 marked as stable:
12
13 $ eix x11-libs/qt$
14 [I] x11-libs/qt
15 Available versions:
16 (3) 3.3.8b-r1 3.3.8b-r2
17 (4) [M]4.5.3 [M]~4.6.1
18 {cups dbus debug doc examples firebird immqt immqt-bc ipv6
19 kde mysql nas nis odbc opengl postgres qt3support sqlite xinerama}
20 Installed versions: 3.3.8b-r2(3)(14:05:56 10/02/10)(cups doc
21 examples -debug -firebird -immqt -immqt-bc -ipv6 -mysql -nas -nis -

30 Is anyone else seeing this, please?
31
32 The message posted to Gentoo-dev suggests that Qt3 is going away right
33 about NOW, but this doesn't seem to add up to what I'm seeing.

35 Thanks in advance for any comments,
