I'm already using a local subversion repository, so I'd be comfortable with that. It's not the best for distributed development, but if it's already in use for the KDE packages, it would probably make the most sense to stick with it. > We will be glad to cooperate more closely.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: qt-x11-opensource Version : 4.0 beta 2 Upstream Author : Trolltech AS * URL or Web page : http://www.trolltech.com * License : Dual GPL/QPL Description : Qt 4 cross-platform C++ application framework Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality. Qt 4 is the next major revision of Qt, currently planned for a late Q2 release. Preliminary packaging is available here: http://people.debian.org/~pyro/experimental/ I would like to group-maintain this package and have set the maintainer to "Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers " in the preliminary packages. Please let me know if this is inappropriate for whatever reason. I plan to maintain the packaging in a distributed version control system, once I figure out which of the 20 or so is the most practical. -- Society is never going to make any progress until we all learn to pretend to like each other. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

As far as I know, he has never publicly stated such an intention, but it seems to me that you should at least ask him about it.

[Brian Nelson] > * Package name: qt-x11-opensource > Version : 4.0 beta 2 > Upstream Author : Trolltech AS Is there some reason for the "-opensource" in the name? That's a pretty redundant designation for something in Debian main, don't you think? I'd probably go with "qt4" or "libqt4" or "qt4-x11" for the source package name. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It's the upstream name. For whatever reason, Trolltech has chosen different names for each major release: Qt1: qt Qt2: qt-x11 Qt3: qt-x11-free Qt4: qt-x11-opensource Qt5 will probably be qt-x11-foss or qt-x11-freeasinspeech or something equally annoying. > That's a pretty redundant designation for something in Debian main, > don't you think?

I was thinking about naming it qt4-x11, but I'm not sure it's worth deviating from upstream. -- Society is never going to make any progress until we all learn to pretend to like each other. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

He's certainly welcome to help co-maintain it. -- Society is never going to make any progress until we all learn to pretend to like each other. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Sure it is: qt4-x11 tells people what it is, and qt-x11-opensource is loopy. There's no obligation to keep the source package name the same as the upstream tarball name. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer signature.asc Description: Digital signature
