[gentoo-dev] rfc: Qt version 4.5.2 news item

[Alex Alexander]

We're planning on stablereq'ing Qt 4.5.2 (really) soon, so I've
written this news item to cover default USE flag changes that could
confuse users :)

Please review, thanks:

Title: Qt 4.5.2 default USE flag changes
Author: Alex Alexander <wired@gentoo.org>

Qt version 4.5.2 has significant changes in the USE flags enabled by default.

When upgrading, make sure you check and re-enable any USE flags you need.

Depending on your system and installed packages, you might hit an issue where
portage is getting confused by this USE flag change, trying to mix old 4.5.1
ebuilds with new 4.5.2 ones, resulting in blocks.

If this happens to you, please add the offending USE flags (usually
'qt3support' and 'dbus') in your USE= or switch to a desktop profile (eselect
profile list). Check this post [0] for more details on this issue.

GLEP 42 says that you should wrap lines at 72 columns.

Correct, I was sure I'd miss something.
