Bug#604360: Re: Bug#604360: Preparations for the removal of the KDE3 and Qt3 libraries



Hi people, 

answering to both the Qt3 orphaning bug (#625502) and the LSB drop-qt3-
dependency bug (#604360);

I have just prepared that (rather minimal) documentation on the "qt3_drop" 
branch on the LSB packaging repository:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-
maint/lsb.git;a=commitdiff;h=qt3_drop

Comments welcome. That said, I plan to have lsb 4.1+Debian5 out with some 
fixes (from the master branch); the dropping of Qt would happen in the next 
release, sometimes in June (in sync with the Qt3 drop, might it happen).

Cheers,

OdyX
