KDE4.2.2 qt build

Hello,

i was just wondering about something which I do not really get about QT and KDE. KDE4.2.2 has hit the repos and a short while ago QT4.5 has been pushed to extra.
Does this mean that KDE4.2.2 is compiled against qt4.5 or is is compiled against QT4.4.3 and running in binary compatibility with QT4.5. From what I hear in other fora most KDE4.2's are still being compiled against QT4.4.

thx,
stefan

There is not Qt 4.4 for some time in our repos. So yes, KDE 4.2.2 was compiled using Qt-4.5. But anyway: This shouldn't really matter.

I does matter. I fact, it'd matter even more if the graphicssystem on qt were changed to raster/opengl (although the last one is pretty unstalbe).

Qt 4.5 uses the native backend by default. Raster and Opengl are experimental and break a lot of things.

AFAIK raster was not experimental anymore. I might be wrong though :S

Try arora,Konqueror with raster. afaik kwin and compisite does not work with raster, too.

You're right.

I'm quite new to arch and wondering why there are already kde 4.2.2 packages available.
There are no tarballs on the kde.org site yet.

Is this a mistake or are those packages from svn?

The actual quote:

April 1st, 2009: Release KDE 4.2.2

The "fixed" quote:

Wow, this is pretty "on time" packaging. Great work guys

Why is "A p r i l" getting replaced by "good idea"?

maybe, so that people don't mess up the 04.01 j o k e s

Furthermore, they were tagged on the 25th of March and hit the Arch testing repos at that time

Distro developers usually get the packages a week before the official release so they have time to package the software. It's not only arch but all the distros
