Re: [trinity-devel] Qt3 code analysis, qt-x11-3.3.8b source compared to trinitydesktop (svn)

Please i attached a README file with a few analysis of many patches i
found in others distributions and also network:

Perdon my english on first readme, the file well documented its the
changelog 3.3.8c but this not reflect patch work, the readme file
attached its a stub and pre file for documentation, the complete work
will be in the msktoo blog of netter's funtoo implementation (funtoo
its a geento author/creator linux but better implemented)

I now testing compiled versions and runtime performance,�I think�the
decision�to  load�a�patched�version�of�qt3�without�analyzing�the
applied/apply patches�added and�extra�work�load�for the development of
the trinity desktop team,�causing�loss�of time�if�I was already
examining�the issue.

I've note that�most�Linux�distributions�do�patches just�to get out�of
step,�the developers of these�distributions�not�provide�something
really�analyzed�the library,�while�in�debian�patches�are�highly�tested
and�placed�with care.�(only�two�debian patches�makes library�take
debian specific, the rest�is�highly�useful and distro independent!!!).

I propose that after finishing my tests compare my tarball (which will
be now tested) which exists in the repository. This is because as I
have analyzed, implemented and documented patches on the previous
version, work that are minimal and necessary for prevent build faille
or runtime errors in future!
