Dear all, in the next days/weeks, Slavek and I

qt->tqt renaming in the master branch. This may affect package

Michele, Tim, Slavek, All,
With KDE going to Plasma and Qt going to Frameworks, is there still
any need for the Qt->tQt changes? I'm just trying to stay up to date.
If we are still protecting for the possibility of a change in Qt that
the tqt layer would handle, then that all makes sense, but if TDE
plans to continue maintaining Qt3 (which I see no reason to change,
it does everything I need), then is there still a need for the
renaming effort?
Hi David,
the major reason for qt->tqt and kde->tde rename is avoid package
conflicts in case tde is installed together with others DE. A lot of
renaming has alrady been done (and a lot still has to be done), but at
this stage going back is probably as much work as going forward.
It feels good for TDE to have its own identity, so I see rename as a
good thing. Just my two cents, others may have different views on this.
Cheers
Michele
Hi David,
you should not forget one crucial thing: While for TDE v3.5.x is used Qt3
and the TQt layer was through tqtinterface, for TDE R14.x is used TQt3
with a native TQt layer and the tqtinterface is more or less transparent.
And since TQt3 is used, it makes sense not to use QT constants, but to
rename them to TQT. This will not only make the code cleaner, but also
prevent potential conflicts.
Cheers
