So question, what are the showstoppers for qt 4.4? And more general comment,
especially on important packages that many people rely on, please provide
more informative comments in package mask, e.g. bug numbers.
Bug numbers should indeed have been provided. The tracker bugs are:
#217528 - [Tracker] x11-libs/qt-4.4.0 unmasking
#217161 - [Tracker] split Qt 4.4
Mostly it's a question of packages not having split qt-4 deps yet. Other
than that, the ebuilds have seen enough testing, as they are needed for
kde-4.1 for example, so that is not an issue anymore.
For the dependencies, I think this isn't a showstopper either, as if you don't
have split dependencies on qt, it'll just take the metapackage and everything
is like before.
Except that as per bug 217161 nothing should depend on the metapackage.
At the moment I'm going through all the remaining open bugs. If things
are easy to fix for me I am fixing the deps, otherwise I'm leaving a
comment that the package needs fixing ASAP, because I don't want to wait
with unmasking qt-4.4 any longer. I hope to be able to do that by
tomorrow. (Although I'm still waiting on the remainder of the qt team to
officially become a member.)

That being said, anyone wanna give me a hand with MythTV 0.22 depends?
I'd appreciate it.
