Hi João, "the ppa doesn't seem to update" sounds very funny: "updating to ~beta3" is not automagical: it implies a certain time of work and compilation. As I don't update the PPA with a possibly broken PySide, it takes at least 2 compilations of it before the actual release and some actual packaging work. And I am doing this for 3 Ubuntu releases as well as for Debian. I'm doing this on my free time, which happens to be limited these days. > Last friday, it all worked fine, so it has to do with any ubuntu > update i have done this weekend. It's not a Ubuntu update you did; you updated from a PPA, which is far from being the same: a PPA is not part of the Ubuntu distribution. AFAICS the PySide version from Ubuntu Maverick works correctly. > When will this be ok? I've just lost today a day of work on this.. Feel free to contract me to do the job faster; otherwise I'll continue to do this on a best-effort basis, during my free time. > Btw, when will ubuntu ppa be updated to beta3? Before the end of the week, hopefully. > Thanks, > João Ventura Although my mail might sound rude, I really feel offended by the tone of yours. But I acknowledge that the process is not perfect: it might be possible to wait on PySide being ready to upload before uploading Shiboken, but it's more complicated for me. And again, please note that I (as the PPA maintainer) am not reponsible for disappearing symbols: this is a responsability of PySide upstream and altough I am mildly annoyed by this fact, this is also normal during "beta" releases, which you still use despite this "beta" state. So please refrain from accusing (me in that case) people for work days lost (in particular when you are using beta free software): it only helps in taking away people's motivation.
