All,
In response to a lot of the traffic on this mailing list, and in order to
prevent fragmentation of Qt3 versions via distro-specific patches, I have
added Qt3 3.3.8c into the Trinity SVN here:
http://svn.trinitydesktop.org/websvn/listing.php?repname=Trinity&path=%…
It can be checked out into the current working directory with a command
similar to this (if you do not have an SVN account simply remove the
--username=<username> portion of the command):
svn co
http://svn.trinitydesktop.org/svn/trinity/dependencies/qt3 .
--username=<username>
The version currently in SVN has had the version number bumped to 3.3.8d,
and includes many of the Qt3 bugfix and security patches commonly in use
today. This version is ready to accept new bugfixes, such as a repair for
the gcc 4.6 header #include issue currently being discussed on this list.
If you want the ability to commit to this Qt3 branch in SVN please write
me directly at kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net and request an SVN account. If
you already have an SVN account at
svn.trinitydesktop.org but cannot
commit to this branch, please include your username so that I can grant
write access to your account.
I hope this decision will aid all involved in keeping Qt3 running smoothly
and compiling on new platforms!

Apologies, I seem to have posted an incorrect URL in the SVN checkout
command. Here is the correct command:
svn co
http://svn.trinitydesktop.org/svn/trinity/main/dependencies/qt3 .
--username=<username>
Also, I received a query regarding letting other distributions know about
our new Qt3 branch. I would say yes, go ahead; this move essentially
makes us a candidate to be the upstream source for Qt3, and the more
people we have submitting bugfix/security patches the better.
