QT needs new maintainer(s), or at least an NMU
Hello,
I had assumed that the lack of QT updates was a conscious choice by the
KDE maintainers to hold off on uploading QT 3.3. But your message implies
that this isn't really the case.
Since Martin Loschwitz has not kept the QT packages in a releasable state,
and indeed has (from what I've seen) not responded to requests for
information on why he has not updated and fixed bugs in the QT packages
(which are in need of both an update to 3.3.2 and fixes for many bugs,
including 2 RC) then perhaps it's time he relinquished those packages and
allowed someone with more time to take care of them. Technically, they
are already group maintained, so it shouldn't be a big deal to allow
others to come to the fore and make uploads (or pass them along to a DD
for uploading). Martin would still be welcome to contribute, of course.
Until this is formally accomplished, perhaps interested individiuals here
on debian-qt-kde could coordinate an upload. I myself don't have the
knowledge required to seriously fix such a complex package, but I'd be
willing to help in a non-central capacity.
Cheers,
Christopher Martin
