Qt 4.6.2 is normally backwards-compatible with 4.5.x. In addition, you queued updates for this for F11 and F12, but not F13. As F13 is frozen, it will NOT automatically pick up a build, you need to push it through Bodhi as well (and stuff pushed at this time will end up in the F13 release, not in updates). So you're breaking the upgrade path. Please also push this to F13 in Bodhi. Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Running application X built against Qt 4.6.x with Qt 4.5.x WILL NOT work (and this is why pushing apps built against a new Qt to stable BEFORE that Qt gets pushed to stable is a bad idea, but rebuilding appliations for the new Qt is normally NOT needed). This is known as one-way (backwards only) compatibility, and quite common. That said, some applications do need to be rebuilt due to backwards compatibility issues, or get more features when rebuilt against a newer Qt. But as you did not include a Bugzilla reference nor any other form of rationale, I can't figure out why you rebuilt this particular application.
