* From: Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com>
* I am beginning to retest everything that depends on the Qt/KDE
* libraries, in light of the many fixes that have been made to said ports.
* Some of the diffs are making their way in PRs right now as part of
* steps 1 and 2 below.
*
* I would like to suggest the following upgrade path:
*
* 1) Upgrade Qt from 1.42 to 1.45. Modify bsd.port.mk as needed.
I've just committed the qt upgrade after a repo copy. I'll commit the
bsd.port.mk change and remove qt142 after looking at how the other
ports behave. (The bsd.port.mk change is already in the tree used for
package building.)
* 2) Fix all C{C,XX}{FLAGS} problems in said ports.
Sure, go ahead. :)
* ---3,4 done fairly quickly, probably within 24 hours---
* 3a) Modify bsd.port.mk further to USE_NEWGCC-ify Qt.
Don't worry about USE_NEWGCC. The next release is from 4-current,
where USE_NEWGCC is a no-op anyway. We can fix that up after the
release.
* 3b) Ensure that all kde*11 non-i18n ports work and upgrade them first.
* 4) Fix each other Qt/KDE-based port, one by one. This can be done fairly
* quickly if the diffs are ready.
So, are they all ready? :)
* 5) Some ports will be left in the dust because of their old code. We
* will deal with each on a port-by-port basis.
*
* Since we are so close to the Ports Freeze date, I believe Satoshi will
* probably object to doing this intricate process, other than steps 1 and
* 2. So for the time being any port that depends on USE_NEWGCC'd Qt/KDE
* shlibs will be broken for -STABLE. Some said ports have already be
* committed as such.
I won't mind if -stable breaks for awhile if that means we can get a
set of better qt/kde packages in 4.0-release.
* I will need the following help:
* 1) Asami-san committing to ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk as needed.
* 2) (Kind) committer(s) to spend some time working with me to get
* these fixes committed.
As I said above, the new qt145 port is already committed, so go ahead
and commit other stuff (well, you aren't a committer so bug billf or
someone).
Satoshi
