Description David Carlos Manuelda 2006-12-19 16:37:32 UTC
Could you add a new release of an ebuild for kopete, applying patch for having this 'theme': http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=49765 ?

Uhm, don't really think that applying experimental patches unsupported upstream is the best idea...

<snip>
Kopete developer asked me whether I would like to develop this patch in the svn branch of kopete and port it to QT4. I must confess this eventuality is attracting, I should however work a little more on that patch before giving an answer. Furthermore my knowledge about differences between QT4 and QT3 is somewhere near zero.

You should try to convince the author to merge this upstream instead. :)

No, this is not a version bump at all; it's not a supported patch; it's not going into the tree.

I'll write a rant about the status of Kopete so it can be clear why this happens, I'm quite sorry about dismissing this, but Kopete is too fragile to start adding this too :/

Ok, this was only an idea :)
