The QT4 port is available in the upstream HG repository but it hasn't been officially released (the releases archive still has only 3.2) or tagged which is why I did not bother to re-package it. I was hoping to do an upload to experimental a couple of months ago but was hard pressed on personal time. I still use xxdiff where meld doesn't cut it and will have time to maintain it (in a month's time). What would your suggested course of action meanwhile be? RFH? Anyways, give me time till the weekend and I will try and see what I can do with the HG tip which is the current QT4 port.

The last 2 uploads of xxdiff were NMU, so if you have not time for this package anymore, please also let me know so I can put it for adoption.

Please, migrate to the Qt4 version (if existing) or file for removal of your package.
