I did not mean to imply porting from qt3 to qt4
precisely, I meant
to
the tqt framework. At least what I read made it sound
like once the
porting to the tqt framework was completely done that it there would
no longer be a need for qt3 as a dependency. Was I wrong?
Everything in GIT now runs on the tqtinterface layer. Other than new
ABI/API changes, there is no more related work to be performed.
Historically, we went through a rough time with the overall
conversion between 3.5.12 -> 3.5.13.1. Most if not all of those bugs
were found and most of the patches have been back ported to 3.5.13.1
too.
We still maintain Qt3, mostly as a base and reference, but the
preferred method of building packages is against TQt3. There will
always be a dependency on one or the other, but as development
continues, that dependency shifts more and more to TQt3. At least one
package builds only against TQt3 and no longer builds against Qt3:
tdebindings. There might be other packages, but I would not know
because I have been building against TQt3 since the GIT migration
almost a year ago.
An idea for art:
1. A triquetra-type image of either penguins or overlapping circles
or something (ideas welcome)
2. We could replace the shutdown, standby, and power buttons with
images of a penguin's ace with eyes open, half-closed and sleeping.
I could do these in 3D or in 2D.
The penguin is symbolically linked to the Linux kernel and the gnu is
symbolically related to the gcc infrastructure. I think Trinity
should have its own symbolic imagery. :)
A triquetra type image sounds interesting, but where do you envision
these images to be used? Are you thinking project logos at this point
or other art work for packages?
I apologize for the top-posting of my last message (please forgive me)
and hopefully it is fixed here. It was not intentional, just tired.
However I also had another idea for some art, I cold also do a 3Dish
image where 3 balls overlap with their overlapping colors changing due
to the overlap.
Personally I don't care whether people top post or bottom post. I see
both styles in my emails outside this list and I use whatever the
other person uses. I have enough intelligence and patience to read
either. So does everybody else here, but old customs die hard. :)
