Bug 245743 – x11-libs/qt-4.5 snapshot version bumps

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Franke 2008-11-05 19:51:01 UTC]

I badly need qt 4.5 on my Gentoo box for development reasons. Aren't there any working 4.5 snapshot ebuilds yet?

Reproducible: Always

No, we're understaffed as it is, and we don't normally add ebuilds for development snapshots. Contributions are welcome...

qt-4.5 packages are on kde-crazy overlay. Note that they are masked for now.

[Comment 4 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2008-12-23 20:47:31 UTC]

the qt-4.5 packages are now on kde-crazy overlay.

I added kde-crazy to take a look at the packages, and emerge complains:

 * Overlay eclasses override eclasses from PORTDIR:
 *
 *   '/usr/portage/local/layman/kde-crazy/eclass/kde4-base.eclass'
 *   '/usr/portage/local/layman/kde-crazy/eclass/kde4-functions.eclass'
 *   '/usr/portage/local/layman/kde-crazy/eclass/kde4-meta.eclass'
 *   '/usr/portage/local/layman/kde-crazy/eclass/qt4-build.eclass'
 *
 * It is best to avoid overriding eclasses from PORTDIR because it will
 * trigger invalidation of cached ebuild metadata that is distributed with
 * the portage tree. If you must override eclasses from PORTDIR then you
 * are advised to add FEATURES="metadata-transfer" to /etc/make.conf and to
 * run `emerge --regen` after each time that you run `emerge --sync`. Set
 * PORTAGE_ECLASS_WARNING_ENABLE="0" in /etc/make.conf if you would like to
 * disable this warning.

We have done some changes on kde4 and qt4 eclasses. That is why portage complains. This warning means the the portage wont use the eclasses under /usr/portage/eclass but it will use the eclassed located on kde-crazy overlay. Do not worry about this

[Comment 7 Nikos Chantziaras 2008-12-25 14:18:48 UTC]

So it's not necessary to use FEATURES="metadata-transfer" and to emerge --regen?

[Comment 8 Christian Franke 2008-12-28 11:11:43 UTC]

Based on the kde-crazy ebuilds I created ebuilds to built qt-4.5 from trolltech's git server.
These are available under git://github.com/cfchris6/qting-edge.git

They compiled fine here on amd64 and x86.

That's one very cool user overlay! Thanks.
