Nice to hear that some people still have free time. Not so nice to hear that you're wasting it. Well, in my opinion, anyway. > This is an overview of what I already did: > - apply qt3to4 > - convert forms with uic3 -convert > - port issues not covered by qt3to4 > - use current libavcodec, libavformat and libswscale from system packages > - remove the dependency of the q3support module > > Issues not covered by qt3to4 were: > - QImage::scale() -> QImage::scaled() > - implicit cast from std::string to QString > - implicit cast from QString to bool > - lots of changes in method names > > Things to consider using QtCreator: > - run setversion.sh to create version information > > The autoconf stuff and directories containing library code are not used. > I have > not yet created a new KDevelop4 project, because I do not have any > experience > with KDevelop.

Unlike others, an autoconf-based build environment will work on any system that has `make' and a decent shell. Is that reason good enough? You won't believe how much trouble I've already had with packages that use scons, cmake, or other evil^H^H^H^Hfancy stuff. > These will be my next steps: > - make sure it still runs on windows > - remove all deprecations and compiler warnings > - use models in all convenient places > - use QListViews instead of QListWidgets > - enable multiple input files > - provide translations > - find similar frames assistant > - etc. > > I sent a mail to Sven Over some time ago, but he has not answered yet. > If you like to see, what I have done in the dvbcut project, can please > anybody reply to my and tell me how to proceed? Maybe the best course of action would be to take over maintenance of the package, if you're really willing and able to spend so much time on it. Unfortunately, I can't give you write access to the repository, since I'm not its owner. Only Sven can do that, and he's abandoned the project years ago. On the other hand, you don't have to use the repository on sourceforge. You don't have to use subversion either. You could set up a new git or mercurial repository and work with that. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <mich...@mr511.de> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
