I am very happy to report that as of revision 12850 the new epa_build configuration for qt4_lite has been committed, and lots of Qt-related build-system fixes committed. As a result of the build-system fixes I could remove a restriction on the build (I previously turned off Qt-related component builds for the nondynamic drivers case to avoid segfaults from qt_example for that case) and the comprehensive test procedure passed with flying colors! For that test I used the epa_build of qt4_lite as the PLplot dependency rather than the system version of Qt4 so that confirmed all was well with that epa_build version of Qt4. That finishes my work on epa_build for the Linux case (although there is plenty more to do on other platforms). As you might expect, I am quite happy with these results. Arjen, I have decided to take it easy tomorrow (to reward myself and also to charge up my batteries a bit for the forthcoming release) so I plan to put off the following two agenda items until after the release. Of course, if you have any further questions about epa_build, I would certainly have time to answer those.
