Bug 121554 – dev-python/PyQt-4 ebuild request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Piotr Malinski 2006-02-04 08:21:36 UTC]

The PyQT4 - Python binding for QT4 are in quite good stage and current snapshots can be downloaded from: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Downloads/Snapshots/PyQt4/
PyQT4 also requires a snapshot of SIP4 from http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Downloads/Snapshots/sip4/

SIP4 and PyQT4 must be slotted so they won't screw up PyQT3 and others.

Created attachment 86126 [details]
PyQt-4.0.0_beta1.ebuild

An ebuild for PyQt4 beta1.

[Comment 2 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-05-05 09:25:09 UTC]

INstead of slotting, I'm considering adding this as a new package "PyQt4", since they've changed their upstream name too.

Any Qt/KDE folks want to disagree?

[Comment 3 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-05-05 09:56:14 UTC]

Oh, I don't think slotting is wrong. It's just that for beta1 it'd be necessary to add lots of 

built_with_use x11-libs/qt use_foo 

lines, so I wanted to wait for the second beta.

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-05-05 10:08:13 UTC]

committed as PyQt4.  I was unable to finish the compilation due to it failing on me not having QAccessible installed, but I'm interested to hear your success stories.

[Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-05-05 10:23:35 UTC]

p.masked and all that, plus it may end up moving as a slotted ebuild at some point.  just wanted to get it in to play with.

[Comment 6 Ville Leskinen 2006-05-06 06:47:50 UTC]

Ok, apparently to get it compile you need to have qt with 'accessibility' USE-flag enabled.

[Comment 7 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-05-06 07:27:27 UTC]

yep, found the same thing.

I think this should be reported to upstream, but I'm not sure where bug reports go (bugs.kde.org?)

[Comment 8 Piotr Malinski 2006-05-06 08:25:31 UTC]

for pyQT or pyKDE - http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/mailinglist.php

[Comment 9 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-05-06 08:32:26 UTC]

This is known upstream. The current snapshot has the relevant fixes.

[Comment 10 Piotr Malinski 2006-05-09 09:21:07 UTC]

why PyQt4 and Sip 4.4.3 are masked because:
"# Masked, since there's no compatible pykde version, yet."

I don't need pyKDE to use pyQT :P and why I can't unmask them with:
dev-python/PyQt4 -*
dev-python/sip -*
in /etc/portage/package.keywords?

[Comment 11 Piotr Malinski 2006-05-28 04:29:27 UTC]

beta1 fails to build for me, but  I've installed latest sip snapshot (as 4.4.4) and latest PyQt4 snapshots (wants sip 4.4.4) and it got emerge without errors :) with
 x11-libs/qt-4.1.3  USE="accessibility cups firebird gif jpeg mysql opengl png postgres sqlite zlib -debug -doc -examples -mng -nas -nis -odbc -xinerama"

No one said you can't. It's just not possible to break the tree globally (for those who use pykde).

Fine. I test them occasionally, too. But I do not start to add snapshots to the tree.

[Comment 13 Andrew Gaydenko 2006-06-23 11:25:30 UTC]

Hm... PyQt v4.0 has been released.

[Comment 14 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-08-23 05:57:00 UTC]

in portage for a while now.
