In the next days I'll try to get time and update the current ArchLinux packages and I plan to call it just "pyside", so when Qt 4.7 comes to light will be easier for me to create a package without the need of say "pyside-qt47 replaces pyside-qt46". > Again, please correct me if I'm wrong... > > ma. > _______________________________________________ > PySide mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openbossa.org/listinfo/pyside -- Hugo Parente Lima INdT - Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia
