PKGBUILD for Qt 4.3
I have run into a problem with a piece of software after the recent update to Qt 4.4. I want to try to downgrade to Qt 4.3 to make sure that that's indeed the reason. My question is how can I get my hands on that PKGBUILD. Do I have to go through the web interface and download each file one by one from http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/q … athrev=356, or is there a way to do this with svn directly. I.e. what is the address of the server that I can give to subversion? This must be a common problem (extracting previous PKGBUILDs), what's the preferred solution?
Thanks.

You'll need to go through the web interface. Users don't have access to the svn.

Re: PKGBUILD for Qt 4.3
Check the PKGBUILD to know which patch/files are still needed. Some of them might be old patches that are no longer used.

Re: PKGBUILD for Qt 4.3
I have tried compiling Qt 4.4 without any of ArchLinux patches; the problem with Ipe (the piece of software I mentioned in original post) remains. Downgrading to Qt 4.3 indeed solves the problem. This problem does not exist in other repos, or rather somebody has confirmed for me that they use Ipe with Qt 4.4 in SourceMage. Next on my list is to compile Qt 4.4 with debugging on, and see where exactly the problem is.
BTW, Ipe is in AUR, if you care to try and confirm the problem yourself. The problem is that it freezes when I try to zoom in or out. Otherwise, everything is fine.

They have it now : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Get … S_From_SVN
