Currently, the app can be obtained on http://www.gentoo.org/~verwilst, but it will be a part of emerge in a matter of days i think.. The major version stuff will be present in emerge as well (so for example qt-3 and qt-2 will be seen as diff apps..) Thanks On Sun, 2002-01-13 at 19:01, Brent Cook wrote: > I liked it too.
