&gt; As as already said earlier, if you want to compile TDE, you can also<br>
&gt; compile<br>
&gt; qt3 with devel enable because you &#39;ll need to *patch* qt3 to be able to<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; compile TDE &gt;=3.5.12 cf<br>
&gt; <a href="http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/Qt3" target="_blank">http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/Qt3</a><br>
<br>
</div>I&#39;m aware of the patch needed for TDE &gt;=3.5.12, but my current interest is<br>
3.5.12.<br>
After that when the patch is needed for future versions then I will look at<br>
applying the patch to the qt3 package.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; So i&#39;ll repeat myself once more :<br>
&gt; -&gt; enable qt3 with devel support on your box<br>
&gt; -&gt; patch it (because i expect you want to fix some TDE bugs available<br>
&gt; in 3.5.12<br>
&gt; &amp; you&#39;ll need to patch for TDE from svn &gt; 1214094<br>
&gt; -&gt; compile, test TDE on your computer with a prefix in /usr (&amp;not<br>
&gt; /opt)<br>
&gt; -&gt; if everything is ok, ask for a space online (i can help if it&#39;s<br>
&gt; really<br>
&gt; needed for that) to provide TDE in a contrib for more tests<br>
&gt; -&gt; &amp; than if it&#39;s ok we can start thinking about including some part of<br>
&gt; it<br>
<br>
</div>As I said earlier in this thread I have of course already rebuilt the qt3<br>
package on my box and started working on the TDE packages (thanks to work<br>
done by Tim for Mandriva it&#39;s far easier for me now).<br></blockquote><div>So we can now work on next step ?<br>Assume you can build it without problem, that&#39;s it&#39;s including without problem in mageia, put it on an external repository for more test and after discuss again about it&#39;s inclusion in mandriva.<br>

The point is with the overwhelmingly negative attitude directed towards me<br>
even &#39;thinking&#39; about TDE in Mageia, I don&#39;t think my reaction is that<br>
surprising, or is it?<br></blockquote><div><br>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&#39;ll be able to prove that TDE can integrate nicely in Mageia, that&#39;s all.<br>

They also explained :<br>-&gt; why qt3 was still in mageia &amp; why we did not package the -devel files.<br>We could have close this thread far earlier<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">


<br>
At this point I don&#39;t think there is any chance that TDE ever goes into the<br>
Mageia repos, given the attitudes I have faced here.<br></blockquote><div>I don&#39;t see why.<br>The only problem we faced is that we&#39;re not agree about packaging qt3-devel for the moment, that&#39;s all. We proposed you to packaged TDE , get it reviewed etc etc.<br>

Some of us indeed ask for a Qt4 TDE and not a Qt3 TDE..<br> </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Also this is not really about my ideas as Xavier&#39;s post showed, there are<br>
others too that are affected by these arbitrary and unnecessary<br>
limitations (they are probably just less outspoken than I am).<br><div><div class="h5"></div></div></blockquote><div>We started a new distribution and we made choices, one of them was to not have Qt3 apps.</div>It&#39;s not like we were providing Qt3 &amp; others apps &amp; 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.<br>
