This dependancy is needed, and currently there is no dependancy that I can see for qt. I assume that "need kde 3" means that qt-3 is required, but /usr/qt/3/bin/uic barfs when it tries to compile a *.ui file created with a newer version of qt. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install qt-3.1.2-r4 ebuild and remove any more recent version 2.

This is just an error in the beta packaging that didn't get caught - kdevelop should be compilable against qt's down to 3.0.4.
The ebuild is still failing against <=qt-3.1.2-r4, is this going to be fixed upstream or what? Puggy
It has been fixed upstream. It will be fixed in Gentoo when the next beta of kde is released.
So why don't you add a dependancy on qt-3.2. Otherwise this ebuild just doesn't work. So the dependancy should be added, or the ebuild should be pulled out of CVS.
Because it's not an explicit dependency, and some people may elect to patch the file by hand instead if they don't want to install Qt 3.2 at this point. The best solution would be to create a patch that fixes the version of the UI file and include it in the ebuild. Or just wait until the next beta is released. Since the package is masked, it's expected there may be troubles with it. Since they're beta packages they're bound to be a little buggy. That's why they're masked.
And of course my foot goes in my mouth as it's NOT masked. I am masking it now.
I understand what you're trying to say, but still IMHO, the ebuild and the upstream tarball as it stands still depends on qt-3.2, whether or not it should or not. I tried installing with the qt ebuild version previous to 3.2 and I got the error, but upgrading to qt-3.2 seemed to fix the problem. So it is a fact that the ebuild it broken as it is missing a dependancy. I don't think any of the ~x86 ebuilds should be broken. They can be buggy, but not broken. If people really don't want qt-3.2 then they won't install kdevelop-3.0.0-beta1 since they'll notice it depends on qt-3.2.
How about I do you one better and just fix it by patching the source via the ebuild so that compilation against qt 3.1 works? Done and done. :)
This was always option #1, I thought everyone was as lazy as me. Thanks.
I am. But the good news is that it's fixed now.
