[Fink-devel] new QT packages
There are new QT packages in unstable: qt2 and qt3. If you've been having dependency problems I ask that you please give these a shot and see if this fixes things. What we've ended up doing is getting rid of qt altogether. qt2 and qt3 both conflict with each other, but their -shlibs counterparts can both be installed at the same time. If you are a packager and have a package that depends on qt or depends on qt3 but actually only works with qt2, please update it. I didn't see anything obvious in a grep, but there may be things I've missed. Thanks! ___ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors. We supply the hardware.

Re: [Fink-devel] new QT packages
the problem is that qt was made to live in seperate directories, Not that I want to say it but I think we should see how debian handled this to avoid more problems. The problem with this I think will be with the bin portion. I think that the qt2-shlibs will need qt2-bin I'm sure the qt2-bin and qt3-bin moc binary are not the same. I think we might need to put them in /sw/share/qt2 and /sw/share/qt3 I know this was done with the first qt3 pkg and Max didn't like it but it was also installed in /sw/qt3. I think it's the only way they can both truly co-exist. Unless this way works for everyone but their will have to be restrictions like version specific depends on -bin and on qt won't really be possible.

No... the only things that need to coexist are shlibs for runtime. the -bin package is only for end-user binaries (qt designer and such). moc and other utilities that are used for actual building *with* qt are part of the base (qt2/qt3) package. They should be able to upgrade over each other at any time. Just like any other properly created shlibs (grin). The problem we ran into was we tried to make a temporary solution for people upgrading over the qt-3.0.* packages and it bit us once we realized we needed qt2 and qt3 to coexist. Part of the problem was we first had the conversation about it on IRC no one thought there were any apps in fink that had problems with qt3 and wanted to be built in qt2. Now it turns out there is (or at least something being packaged), and we need both. :( Ahh, well, it's hopefully over now. Things are the way they should have been in the beginning if we hadn't been confused about the -shlibs thing... We'll just chalk it up to a learning experience. ___ Have big pipes?
