There are users in the IRC channel who ask about this,
and I don't
really know how to respond, since it isn't clear to
myself.
For what I understood: we won't port trinity to Qt4, we
will add
possibility of using qt3 and qt4 together. Is this
correct?
This is correct. At one time there was a desire to port to Qt4, however months of solid work showed that Qt4 cannot provide the features needed to create a fast, efficient desktop geared towards mouse/keyboard interaction and high on-screen information content.
Okeydokey, but then what is the purpose of TQt?
You mean TQt, which is pretty much the same as Qt3 but with Q* objects translated to TQ*.
What I'd like to know is purporse of tqtinterface.
Initially I understood it was created to facilitate porting to qt4, without having to rewrite much of the tdelibs/tdecomponents code. But now, that there are no plans for Qt4 port, what is it needed for, except as compilation dependency?
It currently allows you to select Qt3 or TQt3. Without it the TQt3 port would not have been possible.
