It's been 9 months since the last milestone that built and worked with
qt. It's been 3 months since I last mentioned my desire to drop qt to
avoid another "motif scenario" (20 months of bitrot) and afaict, the qt
port still doesn't work.
I know that Esben Mose Hansen has been working on some patches to get qt
to at least compile so things aren't completely hopeless. However, I
don't want to prolong this any longer than necessary. So, if we don't
have working qt support in by the time we close for 1.3b (~10 weeks), I
want to create the QT_LAST_RITES tag and remove it from the tree.
Sounds like a fine plan. Can you make sure to post your intention to
.unix and wherever else you think appropriate, as well as creating a
1.3b-targetted bug on the topic?
