So far, the ABI of the qt4 smoke has not been completely stable, so we have chosen not to provide -dev package for it, as it makes things easier for us. This is fortunately going to change, so if there is a need for it we might be able to provide it in the future. Currently there is no good bindings outside the kdebindings source package, so there hasn't been a need for it. > I see that debian-edu-install depends on libqt-perl.

For the next months, I would suggest to use the gtk frontend, but hopefully during summer of code, we will have enough working perl-qt bindings and a new and improved debconf frontend that fits in kde. Note that a Qt3 frontend in KDE4 will look just as ugly and misplaced as a gtk frontend. > Any additional suggestions/thoughts/comments ? My suggestion would be to wait until the summer is over - and then hopefully package qt4 perl bindings (maybe in cooperation with the qt people (me and others)) Alternatively, if you need perl-qt3, you can take the kde3 bindings package and strip it down to only be the smoke libraries and ship qt3 smoke in a separate package. /Sune -- Do you know how to link the program?
