Thanks, I just hope I haven't messed anything up! Peer review, especially,=

but not exclusively, from Brian Nelson (due to his Qt experience), would be=

really great.

Hmmm, at first I leaned towards making all the changes at once, but as the=
=20
list of changes kept growing, I began to wonder whether a simple gcc 4.0=20
transition upload would be best, since I don't feel I really can myself=20
certify that the changes are quite safe. This would mean two trips through=
=20
NEW, though.

On the other hand, if people review the changes and certify that they're=20
good, then perhaps that would swing the balance back in favour of an=20
all-changes-together upload (which reminds me that the Qt4 package=20
compatibility patches still need to be added - hopefully I'll get some time=
=20
this week). Decisions, decisions...

All said, I certainly would understand if people wanted to act cautiously.

BTW, since I'm a little out of the loop (and will be for a few more weeks a=
t=20
least, possibly much longer), how is the gcc4 transition going? Are we=20
close to the point where Qt3 can be uploaded? Also, are we proceeding under=
=20
the assumption that Qt3 is ours? I haven't heard anything from Madkiss, but=
=20
perhaps someone else has talked to him.

Cheers,
Chris
