Hmm, so you expect with libqt as a moving target, that we soon might have to provide different versions of the lib because of possible incompatibilities ? Well, yes, maybe you are right, 'though I first wanted to argue against it. I already have seen the problem, that I can't simply upgrade libqt from 1.31 to 1.33 or 1.39, because I would have to make sure, that every port, that depends on it would have to be changed. So more pain free is of course, to have different versions of qt and slowly change the ports... Concerning the repository copy please wait a few days, 'til I find out, where to get the mysterial 1.40 Beta, all I saw was a 1.39 beta... I'll have to ask the nethack-qt hackers ... Then we see, which port name wee actually need. Happy easter weekend !
