Title Qt 4.5.2 default USE flag changes |
38 |
Author Alex Alexander <wired@g.o> |

Revision 1 |
41 |
|
42 |
Qt version 4.5.2 has significant changes in the USE flags enabled by |
43 |
default. |
44 |
|
45 |
When upgrading, make sure you check and re-enable any USE flags you |
46 |
need. |
47 |
|
48 |
Depending on your system and installed packages, you might hit an issue |
49 |
where Portage is getting confused by this USE flag change, trying to mix |
50 |
old 4.5.1 ebuilds with new 4.5.2 ones, resulting in blocks. |
51 |
|
52 |
If this happens to you, please add the offending USE flags (usually |
53 |
'qt3support' and 'dbus') in your USE= or switch to a desktop profile |
54 |
(eselect profile list). Check this post [0] for more details on this |
55 |
issue. |

I have this in my USE flags and I didn't run into this that I recall. |
63 |
|
64 |
qt3 qt3support qt4 |
65 |
|
66 |
I think they are planning to remove qt3 in the future. I'm not sure how |
67 |
close that future is tho. I think qt3support is the key here. |
