+</I>&gt;<i> I agree, there is no 'compelling reason' not to offer it. The people

+</I>&gt;<i> to support it. _Since Mageia doesn't need it for anything_, it makes no

+</I>&gt;<i> benefit. You are free to re-compile QT3 and enable it yourself, which
+</I>&gt;<i> is what i suggest.

+Hi again,
+
+You are wrong, there are software which need qt3-devel, but they have
+been removed from Mageia!
+I have just taken a look at Mageia &quot;missing package&quot; list, and QCad will
+be removed because it is built against QT3 (quoting: &quot;qcad: stewb -
+noimport(started to do this one, but as I understand we'd like to drop
+Qt3, so I stopped)&quot;)
+
+Remember: QCad is a 2D professional drawing tool and it has NO
+equivalent on Linux, so removing it is clearly a regression compared to
+Mandriva.
+
+Sad to see that &quot;you&quot; are stuck at removing as useful packages as
+qt3-devel. Contrarily to what you wrote, It _is_ still needed (not only
+for my personal needs) and removing it has side effects because it
+implies removing software (with no replacement) from the mandriva list ...
+
+Please reconsider your choices,
+Xavier
+
+P.S. I use Mandriva and QCad at work.
