The most notable differences are:
1) I have skipped all patches about "QT=>TQT" (or TQT=>QT) renaming,
because I thought it was a never-ending work in progress which could
cause hard-to-fix regression.
At the beginning I was not planning to incorporate TQT repairs. But then just
when such repairs have helped solve various tricky bugs, so I decided to
incorporate them. The reactions of users of my PPA can assume that the
boundaries that I set not cause regressions. As I mentioned in earlier mails,
I have limited the inclusion of the following patches:
-- Remove additional unneeded tq method conversions
-- Rename obsolete tq methods to standard names
-- Rename a few stragglers
-- Fix inadvertent "TQ" changes
If we agree on that, I would incorporate referred patches into all the other
packages that are not yet included in the update. However it would require
more time, so I prefer leaving it up to potential further update.
2) I absolutely need all GCC 4.7 related patch (I see
you have some, but
not all of them). This also applies to ruby 1.9 and libpng 1.4/1.5 .
I understand. For debian and ubuntu's patches are not yet substantial. The
fact that I have some integrated and some are not, has a simple explanation -
some patches were in GIT after I released the update. :)
Also, there are lots of commits by Darell to remove
"More applications"
from program menu, and neither you nor me have taken them. Maybe we
should consider taking them.
Yes, I thought about them several times. When we think about it both equally,
so it probably will be a good idea :) We will wait for GIT branch or
incorporate it again each in yourself?
