Tim, All,

Looking at the git repository under main/dependencies I find both qt3 and tqt3. The first questions is do we want the build based on tqt3 or qt3? Both look fairly identical.

They are identical except for the fact that tqt3 uses TQ* object names internally, allowing it to be compiled into programs along with Qt4 (this is still a bit of a work in progress, but the theory is quite sound).

Next, there were a number of standard kde and arch patches that were applied when I was building last year. I am sorting though them to find what has already made its way into the code. Does anyone have a list of what patches have already been applied to tqt3? For qt3 we were applying the following:

gcc46-arch.diff qt-3.3.8-buffered-iconview.patch qt-3.3.8-eyecandy.patch qt-3.3.8-fix-qtextedit-vulnerability.diff qt-3.3.8-xinerama.patch qt-3.3.8-xinerama-qpopupmenu.diff qt-3.3.8-xmms-dynamic.patch qt-copy-kde-patches.tar.bz2 qt-odbc.patch qt-patches.tar.bz2 qt-png14.patch

I will try to pick through these sets of patches and find out what will and won't apply any more over the next few days. If this has already been done, then please STOP ME, I hate reinventing the wheel. If not I'll go forward. It seems that the standard qt-3.3.8-xxxxx patches should have been committed to the tqt3 source, but that is what I need to discover.

I am not familiar with non-Debian patches to Qt3, but I strongly suspect the png and any other compilation fixes are already applied to GIT. If you find useful patches that have not been applied to Qt3 already, please let us know in a bug report (with the new patches attached).

Thanks!

Tim
