+I'm aware of the patch needed for TDE >=3.5.12, but my current interest is
+3.5.12.
+After that when the patch is needed for future versions then I will look at
+applying the patch to the qt3 package.

+As I said earlier in this thread I have of course already rebuilt the qt3
+package on my box and started working on the TDE packages (thanks to work
+done by Tim for Mandriva it's far easier for me now).
+
+The point is with the overwhelmingly negative attitude directed towards me
+even 'thinking' about TDE in Mageia, I don't think my reaction is that
+surprising, or is it?
+
+At this point I don't think there is any chance that TDE ever goes into the
+Mageia repos, given the attitudes I have faced here.
+
+Also this is not really about my ideas as Xavier's post showed, there are
+others too that are affected by these arbitrary and unnecessary
+limitations (they are probably just less outspoken than I am).
