I wouldn't do that since it would break binary compatibility with everything else out there. If anything, I would make the Qt4 version the "default" and only tack on the -qt3 extension to the Qt3 version. I would also question whether it's worth the effort to maintain the two versions. It's not like anything in Debian is actually using Qwt right now. > I have sent Brian Nelson, the package maintainer of libqwt two polite > emails, asking if he was planning to package Qwt5 but haven't received an > answer. I don't recall seeing those emails, but I've been too busy to respond anyway. I'm not planning to package Qwt5. In fact, you're welcome to take over the current libqwt in Debian if you'd like. -- Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
