It would be possible, but being honest Qt3 and KDE3 are the past.
I think for openSUSE at least this is not exactly the case because I think
KDE3 will be back in the upcoming release after a gap of 4 releases.
Trolltech/Nokia declared Qt3 dead and it has known bugs and security issues
Trinity project picked up qt3 and included it in their SVN. They already made
two minor releases.
Trinity is not OpenSUSE.
Also, when you assume something, please tell your sources.
I follow (not tightly) the OpenSUSE-dev ML and see no concrete
affirmation about that Qt3 story.
If you want to keep using them, that is fine, but for upstream projects
maitaining a Qt3 backend when noone is interested in doing so is a pain,
so it is not going to happen.
Of course you are free to get the old code and compile it against the
new
poppler, it should not be that difficult.
Can you please check if it builds well against 0.18 without much effort?
If may you simply include it into the package or as a separate tarball?
No, you want it, you do it.
Can you please tell how to build poppler-qt separately of poppler?
Take an "old" src.rpm from your favorite distribution (semms to be
OpenSUSE) and see how.
Actually I am not sure how I can extract poppler-qt3 from an existing
package and build it agains poppler from another package... And also
probably the distro will not accept a package which is hacked rather than
comes from the devs.
That is your problem, not ours, we do not have the capacity to maintain
useless code around.
Why useless if many people use it?
Usefullness is not only about the number of people using it.
My own opinion on Trinity is they'd better make the effort to contribute
on KDE4/Qt4 instead of the -1 version. I feel the same with those guys
working on the GNOME2 continuation.
