If this works out as well as I think it will, we should consider making the
update 3.5.13-sru an official branch that continues a Qt3 based Trinity. I have
always like the idea of:
TDE-classic (Qt3 based KDE 3.5 compatible TDE)
TDE (TQt3 based)
The development work can continue with TDE, while the compatible updates can
be cherrypicked for inclusion in the TDE-classic branch while preserving KDE 3.5
compatibility. The only work required will be working whatever GIT magic is
required to create the v3.5.13-sru top-level branch in the GIT tree so that a
global switch can be done easily between TDE and TDE-classic. I see a huge
benefit to the project for doing what has essentially already been done. That
will allow stable releases from 3.5.13-sru with milestone releases for R14.
That provides the best of both worlds. With Qt4 not ready, I don't see any
reason to build further incompatibility with Qt3 into the only official branch
of the project. Adding v3.5.13-sru as an official branch solves that problem :)
Great work Slavek! (Will see how good your cherrypicking is when the tdebase
build is done :)
Just a couple tweaks to the build scripts for Arch, and it looks like
v3.5.13-sru will continue building out over night. At last check were were
building tdemultimedia. There will be a few packages to work on, but all in all,
it looks like this code is in good shape for building with each distro's general
build scripts. Arch so far:
