Part of the problem is that the Qt package manager interface itself is pretty dire, hopefully both can be improved significantly towards a common consistent & usable interface in 10.3++. So please do raise the issue on -project, 10.3 is not going to change this late in release. For 10.3++ hopefully both versions can be fixed. _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
