Request update PyQT to 4.4.4

I don't know whether this is the correct place to request update of PyQT to 4.4.4.

Tried to build my own PyQT due to synce-kpm issue.
Looks like the download URL in PKGBUILD is outdated. PyQT has been upgraded to 4.4.4.

To the developer/TU who is building this package. Please install dbus-python before building PyQT 4.4.4 so that
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/mainloop/qt.so is generated so that synce-kpm can work correctly.

The makefile generate some error listed below.

install: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/libpythonplugin.so': Permission denied
make[1]: [install_target] Error 1 (ignored)
strip --strip-unneeded "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/libpythonplugin.so"
strip: '/usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/libpythonplugin.so': No such file
make[1]: [install_target] Error 1 (ignored)
cp -f -r /home/xxxx/WIP/pyqt/src/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.4.4/designer/python /usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/
cp: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/python': Permission denied

I don't know whether the error has any impact on my pc.

Re: Request update PyQT to 4.4.4

I'm pretty sure there is a bug report about the dbus-python thing and the package is flagged out of date so it should get updated soon.  If not, a polite email to the maintainer might help you.

The make errors look like there files are ingnoring the install prefix for some reason.
