Hi,
The qting-edge overlay (the official overlay for the Gentoo Qt team) is
a great success as a place to develop new ebuilds, packages, eclasses,
to prepare new releases, to maintain bleeding edge stuff like live
ebuilds and especially as a training ground for new recruits. I thought

we can work things out in the next seven weeks, and otherwise we could

All packages depending on qt:3 should be moved to kde-sunset.
A bug should be filed for this package, blocking the qt3 removal tracker.

Also, I would like to see a list of packages where this would be a
problem. I just filed a new tracker for all packages with qt3 use

them block this tracker.

ns.
I'm not saying we should wait for a move to a DVCS. That is obviously
going to take some time still. I think we should do both: promote the
proxy-maintenance possibility, and at the same time work on DVCS
