Please don't talk about "interface", Qt is way more than interface as I sai= d,=20 so talking about frontends and interface is misleading. If it was just=20 interface, of course it would be possible to choose the best between Qt4 an= d=20 Qt3, but this is not an interface problem, it's a bindings problem. As I said, enabling just one between qt3 and qt4 in bindings would be like= =20 just having one of "pbindings" useflag, and every ebuild decides if it will= =20 provide python or perl bindings, just because they happen to start with 'P'. Qt3 and Qt4 are different enough to be considered different languages from= =20 some POVs, it does not make sense to treat Qt the exact same way of GTK,=20 because it's not only a GUI thing. =2D-=20 Diego "Flameeyes" Petten=C3=B2 - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE --nextPart1374831.BuYbKjO3hz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEmSyOe2h1+2mHVWMRAgDcAKCdpYJwWnoIDwyAADXf8PxtDNoBKQCguPWb yTNLgN6VFlnOrZVsXq3qU3Q= =cNIN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1374831.BuYbKjO3hz-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
