Please note I would really love to do it myself, but I can't due to
Qt's CLA.
You need to sign up in upstream's gerrit instance and push the patch
there.
Well this is messy. I already a similar agreement with the FSF, and
as an
independent contractor, I deal with other organizations who I transfer
copy
right assignments for the work I do. I don't really want to sign
another CLA
for a single change.
I also don't want to become a Qt developer. I have enough on my plate
with GCC and Linux.
Helge, do you have any thoughts about this?
Of course, **do not hesitate** in asking me for help if needed. Once
you have
pushed the patch upstream, also don't forget to add me as reviewer,
at that
point I might be of even more help :)
The patch changes the atomic interface and this affects quite a few
packages using qt4-x11. Since hppa has been back in ports, we have
been building qt4-x11 unstable with this change.
That's the perfect reason for upstream to accept it, don't forget to
mention
it!
