this is definitely offtopic in this thread, but : 0. the issues were probably not present after the migration, although I cannot tell really 1. they probably occured after the move to Qt 4.5.* 2. we had to move to qt 4.5.* since this is what KDE 4.2 requires 3. few patches may have been dropped if they were not applying cleanly 4. I'd love to check the patch xlucas pointed to in the other thread and perhaps fix it, but after *your* SCM was migrated recently, I am no longer able to browse the source tree 5. have the patches been submitted upstream a year ago we would probably no longer need most of them and there would be no such issue. Few weeks ago you have mentioned that you are in touch with someone from qt team ready to look at the patches - any news? > > I am a -- quite a bit -- confused at the approach > being pursued here. > > It appears that breakage introduced during the SCM > migration is not > being addressed, or fixed, but, instead, there are > new and improved > proposals for new and improved breakage. KDE4 itself is moving fast. If we keep sitting on our behinds, there'll be once again a pathetic bunch of bits unsupported by upstream. Using undocumented flags is IMO just hiding bugs either in SS or in the packages. The real problem is that ATM we don't even know which bugs and where. > > Someone care to enlighten us as to what exactly is > the goal here ? not sure if I'm the one, but here are my points: get KDE4 on Open/Solaris and as a side effect improve and promote Sun Studio ? learn something along the way ?
