With the envisioned R14 release date still a couple of months down the road, a short soft freeze now will allow us all to stabilize and verify all packages build against TQt3. In other words, everybody stops tweaking and tinkering for a few days and only verify the building process. :) > > Right now seems that every other day or so one package or another will not fully build without an error. When we get through the temporary freeze, we can focus on the bugzilla but all have comfort knowing that tqt build issues have been addressed. > As of right-now, I have Arch building without error on TQt3 through tdebase, including the following: 15:07 nirvana:~/tde> ls -1 pkg/x86_64/ hal-0.5.14-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz hal-info-0.20091130-1-any.pkg.tar.xz libutempter-1.1.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-arts-3513_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-dbus-tqt-1-3513_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-dbus-tqt-3513_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-libart-lgpl-3513_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-libcaldav-0.6.2_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-libcarddav-0.6.2_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-tdebase-3513_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (built with upower enabled) tde-tdelibs-3513_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-tqca-tls-3513_tqt-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-tqt3-3.8.8.d_git-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-tqtinterface-3513_tqt-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz tde-tqtinterface-3513_tqt-9-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz The only package in the tdebase dependency line that won't build is avahi-tqt.

There is a huge unrecognized benefit in taking a few extra weeks to clean everything up before a release compared to the time/manpower required after release to correct bugs easily squashed before release. R14 should be as clean as we can make it :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
