While we're on this thread, the main reason I'm hesitant to use new
versions of sip is that the mailing list bounces posts from my regular
email address, with the note spam not accepted. I am not a spammer, my
regular email address is not a freemail spam source, and my ISP don't
run an open relay. So I can only post from  another account. What's more
annoying is there doesn't appear to be any  way I can contact those who
are responsible for this sorry state of affairs (they have a broken
webform. Figures, huh ?)

Even when I do use newer versions, I can't post feedback to the list very
easily (-;

Another thing that would be really nice is a list of mirror sites. I'm not
going to use the latest version if I can't succesfully download it after
several attempts. If there are no mirror sites, it may be worth trying to
get some volunteers, or having it available on the KDE site (then it would
also be available on the mirror sites)

Of course, it doesn't follow that I'd suddenly be a major contributor or
anything if I could post to the list-- but I did offer feedback before I
got tired of begging others to forward my posts to the list.

Cheers,

 There are a couple of reasons why I might want SIP v4 to generate just
 one dirty great source file - but I'm a bit concerned about compilers
 choking on a source file that is several Mbytes.

I think it could be a problem if the user tries to use its computer while 
compiling PyQt. Since the compiler takes all the memory, it will swap and 
get very slow.

As far as I am concerned, firing a compilation and coming back 4 hours later 
to see if it is finished is okay. You just have to get used to it. And I 
really believe in compiler cache, it reduces the Qt's compile time from 22 
minutes to 4 minutes.

 Does anybody have any thoughts on this? 

How about one source file per module. Sounds more reasonable to me. And I 
would prefer it as an option.

regards,

Philippe

Wow, sounds like it's worth a look.

It would be one source file per module - but the qt module is massive
compared to the others.
