and, fwiw, i couldn't care less for the unsubstantiated complaints of packagers. they are the *last* consumers to think about - they can be expected to understand their job, and be willing to spend a few minutes on a package's nuances. it's not rocket science. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
