What i meant to say is that the ppa is not updated to beta3 so i'm still using beta1 - that i use the binaries from the ppa and not a home-compiled version. Not criticizing the maintainer, far from it. My goal is just to try to help narrowing the error to a specific version. I know that it takes a lot of personal time, and i'm one of the people who should be thankful to you (and i am, of course) as i use the binaries you produce.

Probabily, i must have updated things from pyside between my regular ubuntu updates, and that led me to think that it was another library (outside pyside) that was breaking something in PySide. As i said, friday everything worked, today "import PySide" gives that error. The error is from the PySide ppa update? Is there any possibility of installing a previous version of things on the ppa? >> When will this be ok?

Again, not refering to ppa's or anything. The reality is that i've scheduled a free day today for working with PySide, and could not do it. Had to install Ubuntu again, configure everything, etc. It took me all day. >> 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.

It is not my purpose to offend anyone, even more when they are working on their spare times. I've just registered today in the mailing list to address this problem, and i have not consulted any more threads than this one, so i don't know about what is happening and how things work inside. I'm not accusing or pointing my fingers to anyone, and it was not with that tone that i've wrote this email (or it was not that intention, of course). > 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. Again, it was not my intention to accuse anyone, just refered to ppa to contextualize my setup. It's my first post here, my firsts visits to this mailing list, so i'm not in the position to accuse anyone. I don't know anyone around here, no names are familiar to me, and that is not absolutelly my way of working. I don't even know if the problem is with the ppa, and never thought the ppa could have something to do with it. > Respectfully, > > OdyX I sure hope you don't fell demotivated. You are doing a terrific good job by maintaining the ppa and a lot of people seems to use the fruits of your work, and that is extremelly positive.
