[qt overlay] Qt beta and live ebuilds & Qt4 apps

[Hwoarang]

Thanks for reporting this issue. I ll take a look as soon as possible

I am affraid I cant answer your question about kde4+100% cpu. You should ask guys on kde-testing topic -> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-722264.html



@ All

I will drop opengl use flag on qt-gui live ebuilds for now until I come up with a solution for the linking problem

Stumbled on this discussion on the Qt Labs blog, from Feb. 10 (by way of the Mandriva Cooker forum)- very interesting and informative: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/02/10/why-kde-42-should-use-qt-45/

There's also this other one, from Dec. I found worth reading. http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/12/04/how-kde-4-is-blocking-qt-45/

not really an important issue, but the live builds seem to fail with +doc, getting loads of qdoc errors looking like this:

I am aware of this but documentation installs fine in the end

testing this, wow.. the raster backend is noticably faster, even on my quad core system, I didn't think I'd notice but I really do.

And the only problems I've run into, is icons for non qt applications look a bit wrong in the systray (but kde ones now render fine, which they didn't before), and the bouncy icon for startup notification renders wrong.

So none of the widgets I use have any issues whatsoever :p

[gimpel]

Yeah systray and startup notifiction is a bit screwed here too with raster engine, indeed. And I saw dolphin crashing when right clicking things.

Is this possible to enable raster in Qt-4.5.0_rc1?

Qt-4.5.0_rc1 will be on portage soon with raster support

[no4b]

I tried Qt-4.5.0_rc1 from overlay and fonts look much worse compared to Qt-4.2.2 from portage. They are thin. Have you noticed something similar?

My fellow Qt addicts

Qt-4.5.0_rc1 + qt-creator-0.9.2_rc1 is now on tree.

Please fill bugs on bugzilla for those packages and not here

This thread remains strictly related with qting-edge overlay

It is up to you . I would say kde bugzilla but this is a rare situation and i dont know if you can reproduce it if they ask you to do. Upgrading Qt to 4.5 has different effects on different users so I am not sure if this is a bug or not. In fact i did upgrade Qt-4.4.2->Qt-4.5 on 4 machines and only one of them had some troubles , but remerging all applications that depend on qt-gui fixed the issue

So as you can see, its pretty confusing situation.

[gringo]

sorry if i´m going to say sth. stupid but i installed qt-4.5.0-r1 because i thought i had read somewhere that nsplugin support was there already.
All i need is a browser that knows what flash is, so i tried arora from your overlay and it apparently doesn´t work.

What am i doing wrong ? or am i using the wrong version ?

thanks in advance for any advice !

thanks for your answer neuron !

i´ve been using arora/midori for quite some time now ( but don´t use gnome or kde) and they worked quite well for me so far, specially arora looks more robust to me.
I just wanted to see how well the flash stuff works using one of these but I´m unable to get latest gtk-webkit stuff to compile so that i checked out latest arora.
