pkg kde talk - Nov 2007 - Qt delta

It''s merging season for Ubuntu.  The current diff in Qt 4 is this
patch
 http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kubuntu_01_load_ssl.diff
which closes 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/155784

Qt 3 has some more changes

  * Merge with Debian, remaining changes:
   - No firebird/ibase build (remove build-dep, control entry, ibase
  ./configure option), firebird is not in Ubuntu main
   - install qtrc (change rules, qtrc file) and qt_plugins_3.3rc
   - add /etc/ to libqt3-mt and install qtrc qt_plugins_3.3rc
   - Add kubuntu_04_xinerama.dpatch from
  http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/xinerama/
   - Add kubuntu_06_fglrx_0_size_screen.dpatch work around fglrx
  reporting a 0 size screen.
     Closes
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt-x11-free/+bug/81686
   - Add kubuntu_07_font_default_subst.dpatch from Dirk Muller,
     should fix rendering of CKJ and other characters
  * Add kubuntu_05_gcc_hidden_visibility.dpatch from
    http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=13069&action=view
    on http://bugs.kde.org/109386, I am promised GCC won''t break
  things this time

Patches at http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/qt3/ along with
qt_plugins_3.3rc qtrc which set a nice theme in the corner case that
users have KDE bits installed but are running Qt only apps.

The visibility patch isn''t well tested except for the last times where
I used it and it added a number of very random bugs, I''m promised that
with GCC 4.2 it''ll work better but I''m remaining skeptical for
now.

Thanks a lot Jonathan!

I guess we don''t want to adopt this part - we have firebird available.

Sounds reasonable. Let us try see what happens

seli usually knows what he does - and the patch looks non-intrusive. Let us 
ship it.

urgh. looks hackish but non-intrusive. I would prefer fglrx to fix it, but I 
guess we can work around it.

I don''t know much about this. it changes some stuff I have too little
clue
about.

It basically just adds __attribute__((visibility("default")))  to some
things.
I dunno. Don''t know too much about -fvisibility.

Man, how might I install a ethernet virus?

You have to log on a menu to the software and you neither should rename a Fast 
ISDN cache, nor can ever overclock the microprocessor for removing a 
provider.
