Re: Problems with qt-embedded



I have to say that the Qt/Embedded packages were rather maintained poorly.
This was mainly due to my lack of usage of them. (A very good reason people
should only maintain that which they use)  Another reason was that there was
no feedback from any users of what was working/not working with them.  Either
way this doesn't matter anymore.  The Qt/Embedded packages currently in
unstable work along with the qt2 packages also in unstable.
