Dear maintainer, The Debian Qt/KDE team is planning to remove the KDE3 and Qt3 libraries from Debian shortly after the Squeeze release. The transition phase to KDE4 and Qt4 will finish since both KDE and Nokia upstream don't maintain the old versions of those libraries anymore. In order to make this move, all packages directly or indirectly depending on the KDE3/Qt3 libraries have to either get ported to KDE4/Qt4 or eventually get removed from the Debian repositories. Therefore, please take the time and: - contact your upstream (if existing) and ask about the state of a KDE4/Qt4 port of your application - if there are no activities regarding porting, investigate whether there are suitable alternatives for your users - if there is a KDE4/Qt4 port that is not yet packaged, consider packaging it - if both the KDE3/Qt3 and the KDE4/Qt4 version already coexist in the Debian archives, consider removing the KDE3/Qt3 version Documentation on how to port to KDE4 can be found at: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Tutorials/KDE4_Porting_Guide Documentation on how to port to Qt4 can be found at: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/porting4.html For any questions and issues, do not hesitate to contact the Debian Qt/KDE team at debian-qt-...@lists.debian.org Eckhart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-packages-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
