Re: [DVBCUT-devel] New dvbcut upstream snapshot in debian

I don't use cmake for the Qt3 build, for largely the same reasons I got rid of the original scons build system. Well, maintaining two separate build systems is surely suboptimal. The cmake build system isn't my favorite either, but could you perhaps elaborate on the problems that it is imposing on you? I'm not familiar with cmake, so I can't maintain and support a cmake-based build system. I'm asking because my agenda on this is to get the Qt4 build integrated properly so that we don't have to update the patch on every upstream snapshot. And Qt3 is, unfortunately, not an option for use in a Distribution setting. Well, I don't want to maintain two versions, and it doesn't seem to be possible to write a program that works with both Qt versions (which says quite a lot about Qt, in my opinion), so a switch to Qt4 would be irrevocable - something I've tried to avoid so far. And as long as the autoconf build system isn't ported, I'm not going to. -- Michael Tired Riepe mich...@mr511.de X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Qt4/autoconf would be okay, too, as long as everybody is aware that there's no way back once I incorporate the patch, and that the Qt3 version is effectively dead and buried at the same time. Therefore, you'd require the Qt4 port to work with the autoconf. It must also work on Windows/MinGW, as the Qt3 port does. Let's not forget that there are more operating systems than just Linux and its derivatives. -- Michael Tired Riepe mich...@mr511.de X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Re: [DVBCUT-devel] New dvbcut upstream snapshot in debian
Hi, I am not sure whether the following make sense for the dvbcut package, but what about the following? I suppose that the future of dvbcut will be Qt4!? So what about creating a new Qt3 branch where you continue to maintain dvbcut for Qt3 and start passing trunk to Qt4. I am aware that it would represent more work to maintain two branches, but it has the advantage of not having to bury Qt3. Cheers, Francesco On 21/01/12 19:05, Michael Riepe wrote: Hi.
