Note that this also applies for Qt 4.8. If the support is broken there and causing issues like Ariel is describing, it's definitely a P1 that needs fixing. If we can't muster the knowledge of how to fix it properly, we should disable. Now, it appears that in Qt 5, the support is already non-existent. So there's nothing we need to do now. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center Intel Sweden AB - Registration Number: 556189-6027 Knarrarnäsgatan 15, 164 40 Kista, Stockholm, Sweden
