Hi,

As some are already aware of, I've been packaging PySide (including
apiextractor, generatorrunner, and boostpythongenerator) for openSUSE since
the project has been publicly announced.

Not only stable/released versions have been packaged, but also snapshots
taken from mainline git repository with both built and hosted on the openSUSE
Build Service[1] in my home dir there (home:cgoncalves:pyside and
home:cgoncalves:pyside:devel)[2][3].

Yesterday I took some time updating the snapshots (ie.
home:cgoncalves:pyside:devel) to now build against shiboken instead of
the not-yet former boostpythongenerator. Apiextractor, generatorrunner
and shiboken built successfully, while PySide did not because I've tried to
build it with Qt 4.6 but due to bug #124[4] it failed, and in the
meantime I've switched it back to Qt 4.5.

Moreover, I'm expanding this packaging work to other distributions
namely Fedora 11, Fedora 12, Mandriva 2009.1, and Mandriva 2010 sharing
the same specfile with openSUSE 11.1, openSUSE 11.2, and openSUSE
Factory that already live there for quite some time.

Everything have been built okay for these distributions, except on
Mandriva 2009.1 and openSUSE 11.1 where PySide (only) is failing (older
gcc version version issues I suppose) and on Fedora 11 i586 and
openSUSE 11.2 i586 with PySide failling, too, but due to bug #111[5]

So, in case you are interested in testing these non-openSUSE packages,
which I didn't I may add, please do so and report back to me whether
they are okayish or not.

Finally, keep in mind that for now I'm only referring to repository
home:cgoncalves:pyside:devel (snapshots) and not to stable versions.
Plus, you won't get yet a full featured Python bindings for Qt since the
PySide team is under heavy work on completing the QtCore module first
with Shiboken before moving forward to other modules.
