+Assume you can build it without problem, that's it's including without
+problem in mageia, put it on an external repository for more test and after
+discuss again about it's inclusion in mandriva.

+I did not see any negative attitude directed towards you, most of people
+told you that for the moment it was a no-go in order to enable qt3-devel
+until you'll be able to prove that TDE can integrate nicely in Mageia,
+that's all.
+They also explained :
+-> why qt3 was still in mageia & why we did not package the -devel files.
+We could have close this thread far earlier

+I don't see why.
+The only problem we faced is that we're not agree about packaging qt3-devel
+for the moment, that's all. We proposed you to packaged TDE , get it
+reviewed etc etc.
+Some of us indeed ask for a Qt4 TDE and not a Qt3 TDE..

+We started a new distribution and we made choices, one of them was to not
+have Qt3 apps.
+It's not like we were providing Qt3 & others apps & suddently someone
+decides to drop all of them from the distribution... This could be seen as
+arbitrary and unnecessary limitations because suddently you can loose
+functionnality, here we started *without* thoses because we decided to start
+like this.
