[gentoo-dev] RFC: qt4-r2.eclass - new eclass for Qt-based apps
Hello guys!
We, the Qt team, would like to include a new eclass in the tree.
The qt4-r2 eclass is meant to help with ebuilds for Qt-based (qmake-based, to
be precise) applications.
The eclass is attached, and here's a short comparison between qt4-r2 and qt4
(currently in tree) eclasses:
Removed in qt4-r2:
* obsolete QT4_BUILD_WITH_USE_CHECK and
QT4_OPTIONAL_BUILD_WITH_USE_CHECK hacks.
Improved in qt4-r2:
* eqmake4 function now behaves similarly to qmake itself, i.e.:
- doesn't assume ${PN}.pro, but searches for the project file if not
specified, just like qmake does
- in some cases is able to figure out the correct project file if there
are several of them in one directory (rare case, but technically
possible)
New in qt4-r2:
* automatic generation of linguas_* IUSE, based on LANGS and LANGSLONG
variables,
* automatic installation of documentation, based on DOCS and DOCSDIR
variables,
* exported src_configure(), src_compile() and src_install() functions
The qt4-r2 eclass requires EAPI-2.
We have been developing, testing and constantly improving qt4-r2 in qting-edge
overlay for around a year already. It's working for us and we find it very
handy compared to the old qt4.eclass.
After pushing qt4-r2 to the tree, we're going to port Qt 4 apps' ebuilds to
qt4-r2 and deprecate qt4.eclass.
Thanks,
Dominik

[gentoo-dev] my retirement
Hi, in the last months my real life eated much of my time, I've tried to fix many things but, actually, I've not much time to work on gentoo ebuilds ...so it's time to retire. You can send an email to czoff...@xmerlin.org if you need to contact me. All my future work on gentoo will be available for download at this url http://www.xmerlin.org/gentoo/ I hope to help the project in the future. Best regards, Christian

And we can't just make changes to qt4.eclass since there are too many ebuilds using it and we would surely break the tree.

2009/11/29 Thomas Anderson tander...@gentoo.org: I can see people using qt4-r2 just because it has -r2 (so it is newer than qt4) That is exactly the intended behaviour. We would break the tree if we would simply add the new functionality to the existing qt4.eclass. And in absence of an eclass versioning mechanism, this is what we came up with. As soon as existing ebuilds in the tree are ported over to qt4-r2, the old qt4.eclass will be removed. Cheers, -- Ben de Groot Gentoo Linux developer (qt, media, lxde, desktop-misc) __
